Price limit structure for CME US equity index futures as published on 15 October 2026. The reference price is the volume weighted average price over the thirty seconds from 14:59:30 to 15:00:00 Central. The 5% and 7% figures for the pre-open window come from two different exchange documents and could not be reconciled.

Equity index futures trade under a tighter band before the cash open than during the session. The exchange's public page gives that overnight band as 7% and its own rulebook gives 5%. On 24 August 2015 the contract halted at a 5% level.
