CME Group Inc. (CME) on Monday limited all trading by MF Global Holdings Ltd. (MF), and barred the firm's traders from accessing the U.S. derivatives exchange's trading floors.

"Until further notice, CME Group will no longer recognize MF Global or any of its divisions as a guarantor for purposes of floor trading privileges. Accordingly, floor brokers and traders guaranteed by MF Global or its divisions may not access the trading floor," the exchange said in a statement.

The decision followed MF Global's filing for bankruptcy protection Monday.
