CME Group reports Micro futures, options trading volume of over 1bn contracts

Posted on 2021-08-31 By admin No Comments on CME Group reports Micro futures, options trading volume of over 1bn contracts

International derivatives marketplace CME Group today announced that more than 1 billion Micro futures and options contracts have been traded to date.

“Retail participation across CME Group continued to grow during the first half of the year, and our innovative, Micro-sized products help ensure that both individual and institutional clients can even more easily access our markets going forward,” said Julie Winkler, CME Group Chief Commercial Officer.

“We continue to work closely with the broker community to help educate market users of all sizes on the many benefits of Micro futures trading, including deep liquidity in global benchmark products across nearly every investible asset class.”

Since the launch of its first Micro contracts – Micro FX in 2009 – CME Group has rapidly expanded these offerings, creating a diverse suite of more than 20 products. Over 362 million Micro contracts have traded through the first eight months of this year alone. Other notable growth highlights include:

  • Micro equity contracts represent 87% (870 million) of the cumulative 1 billion Micro contracts traded.
  • Since the start of 2021, Micro Bitcoin futures, Micro WTI Crude Oil futures and – most recently– Micro Treasury Yield futures were introduced in response to strong client demand.
  • Micro WTI futures have traded more than 2.1 million contracts since their July launch, marking the most successful commodities product launch in the company’s history.
  • Micro Bitcoin futures have traded more than 1.5 million contracts since their May launch.

“The smaller size of Micro products increases access to the futures and options markets, and at TradeStation we’ve seen strong demand from our retail clients,” said John Bartleman, President of TradeStation Group, Inc. “CME Group continues to meet the needs of traders and surpassing 1 billion contracts traded is quite impressive.”

“CME Group’s Micro contracts give investors a cost-effective way to access futures markets,” said Steve Sanders, EVP of Marketing and Product Development at Interactive Brokers. “Our clients can trade futures for a fraction of the price of a standard sized futures contract alongside stocks, options, and other products from a single, integrated account. This aligns with our continued mission of providing a wide range of products at a low cost.”
