Chicago Board of Trade
The Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), established in 1848, is the world's oldest futures and futures-option exchange. As a leading exchange more than 50 different futures and options products are traded by over 3,600 CBOT members through open auction and/or electronically. Volume at the exchange in 2003 was a record breaking 454 million contracts.
On October 22, 1981, trading was halted on both the Chicago Board of Trade and the Philadelphia Stock Exchange after anonymous callers said bombs had been placed in those buildings.
