In the film Trading Places, which commodity exchange floor hosts the climactic New Year's Eve scene?

In the film Trading Places, the climactic New Year’s Eve trading scene takes place on the New York Mercantile Exchange floor.

Trading Places is a 1983 comedy directed by John Landis and starring Eddie Murphy and Dan Aykroyd. Its plot follows a social experiment engineered by wealthy commodities brokers, who manipulate the lives and careers of a street hustler and a privileged executive.

The finale centers on a fraudulent attempt to profit from advance knowledge of a government crop report. The characters race to the exchange and trade frozen concentrated orange juice futures, turning the film’s class satire into a fast-moving market sequence. The exchange setting gives the ending its distinctive shouted orders and hand signals.

The location is often confused with the New York Stock Exchange because both are major financial institutions associated with Wall Street. The film’s fictional trade involves commodities futures, however, and the production used the New York Mercantile Exchange. The movie is also notable for helping make floor trading familiar to audiences who had never seen a commodities pit.
