Cboe Global Markets to re-open floor trading of VIX options on December 28

Cboe Global Markets announced that it will re-open floor trading of options on the Cboe Volatility Index or VIX, on Wednesday, December 28. On Tuesday, the VIX trading pit on the Cboe trading floor was temporarily closed for the day as a result of water damage sustained from a burst pipe above the trading floor. VIX and VIXW options were traded in electronic-only mode while open outcry trading was unavailable. VIX and VIXW options will be available for both electronic and open outcry trading beginning Wednesday. To resume floor trading, the VIX trading pit is being temporarily relocated to an alternate space on the Cboe trading floor while repairs to the damaged trading pit will be made. Reference Link
