Morning Blast - 28th November: CME Outage Halts Trading - The Data-Centre Glitch That Stole Markets

Hosts Ryan and Michael review a chaotic Friday session where a CyrusOne data‑centre cooling issue halted CME futures and affected FX platforms, leaving liquidity thin during the Thanksgiving weekend. They critique the UK budget as uninspiring — spending pushed forward while tax rises are back‑loaded and politically uncertain — and highlight fall‑out risks for the housing market. Other key takeaways include concerns over heavy borrowing tied to OpenAI data‑centres, OPEC holding output steady, ECB commentary on near‑term policy, and a slow global news flow amplifying market gaps.
