CME Group stock closed at USD 200.54 on the Nasdaq on September 16, 2026, down 0.8% from the prior session according to Nasdaq quote data.

September 16, 2026 in numbers
CME Group Inc. (ISIN US12572Q1058, Nasdaq: CME) traded between an intraday low of USD 198.76 and a high of USD 201.71 on the Nasdaq on September 16, 2026, with a closing price of USD 200.54 and a daily loss of 0.8%. The prior close was USD 202.16, so the move represented a modest pullback within the recent trading range. Over roughly the past year the shares have risen about 5.8%, as highlighted by Yahoo Finance, underscoring a still positive longer-term performance despite the latest session loss.
The broader market backdrop on September 16, 2026 was risk-off. The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped more than 630 points, or about 1.2%, as reported in a New York market wrap by Capital Futures. That index move provides context for CME Group’s smaller decline, suggesting the stock was influenced by the same macro factors that drove the broader market lower.
Fed decision due today
Today, September 17, 2026, attention around CME Group is likely to center on the Federal Reserve’s policy meeting and rate decision, which is scheduled for later in the day. According to an outlook piece on the upcoming decision published by MSN, investors are waiting to see how the central bank’s rate move and updated guidance will affect both stock and bond markets. As a major derivatives marketplace whose volumes are sensitive to interest-rate expectations and volatility, CME Group can react to changes in monetary policy and the associated shifts in trading activity. The next scheduled corporate earnings release for CME Group is not highlighted for the coming days in the available coverage, so today’s macro decision is the key event heading into the US open.
