Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group announced that it will launch financially settled Micro E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 options on June 29, pending regulatory review.
These new Micro options contracts will be one-tenth the size of their E-mini counterparts with short-dated Monday through Friday expiries. In addition, the contracts will be financially settled, eliminating the additional operational processes tied to underlying futures delivery at expiration.
Micro E-mini S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 options build upon the success of CME Group’s existing Micro E-mini Equity Index suite, which has surpassed more than 2.6 billion cumulative contracts traded since its inception, including over 1 billion contracts each for S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100 Micro E-mini products.
