The CME Is Having Some Internet Issues

We're told from a source that hard lines to the Chicago Mercantile Exchange in Chicago are down.

Right now, traders only have wireless access, our source said.

However, Twitter user AgMTKS1, who is a member of the Chicago Board of Trade, says that the floor wireless has gone down.

"Volumes have been pathetic anyway. A slow day just got slower," our trader tells us.

We put in a call to the CME and will update when we hear back.

If anyone else knows anything about what's going on in Chicago, feel free to send an email to jlaroche@businessinsider.com.

Here's what folks on Twitter are saying:

Our option software provider just informed us it's a power outage affecting CME's network...still unable to connect to our server...
