Feb 6 (Reuters) -
CME Group said on Friday that it has resolved an issue that delayed the publication of metals settlements earlier in the day, according to an update on its website.

 The exchange operator had earlier flagged a delay in publishing metals settlements, saying its support teams were engaged, but did not provide details on the cause.

     Metals settlements are closely watched by market participants as they are used for pricing, margining and valuation across physical and derivatives markets.

In November, global futures markets were disrupted for several hours after CME Group, the world's largest exchange operator, suffered one of its longest outages in years, halting trading across stocks, bonds, commodities and currencies.

CME is the biggest exchange operator by market value and says it offers the widest range of benchmark products, spanning rates, equities, metals, energy, cryptocurrencies and agriculture.
