Expanded CME Coverage Across Equity Indexes, Energy and Precious Metals
Amid heightened volatility in global financial markets, Capital Futures (6024) will formally list Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) options on "light crude oil," "Micro E-mini S&P" and "Micro E-mini Nasdaq" expiring daily from Monday to Friday in November, as well as "100-ounce silver" futures, covering equity indexes, energy and precious metals and providing investors with broader trading choices. Chairman Jia Zhongdao said continuously expanding product choices is aimed at meeting clients' diverse and comprehensive trading needs, helping investors capture trading opportunities across different themes and industries amid rapid market changes while balancing position allocation and risk management.
Daily-Expiring Contracts Aligned with Data and Earnings Schedules
The newly listed light crude oil, Micro E-mini S&P and Micro E-mini Nasdaq daily-expiring weekly options expire from Monday to Friday. Investors can select expirations matching policy announcements, corporate earnings and key data releases, flexibly positioning with calls, puts or spread strategies, while helping reduce overnight holding volatility risk. Policy direction after the U.S. midterm elections, economic data and geopolitical conflicts continue to drive global equities, energy and precious metals markets, underscoring the importance of flexible positioning and risk management.
Micro-Sized Contracts and Silver Futures for Precise Position Adjustments
Micro-sized contracts are one-tenth the size of the corresponding E-mini contracts, and the concurrently listed 100-ounce silver futures also offer a new, smaller-sized choice for participating in the silver market, allowing investors with different capital sizes to fine-tune positions. Capital Futures offers the widest range of overseas options products among domestic futures firms, covering major U.S., European and Asian equity indexes as well as foreign exchange, energy and precious metals, with contracts expiring daily from Monday to Friday, and will soon launch "U.S. stock options," continuing to expand trading and hedging tools to meet clients' cross-market and cross-asset allocation needs.
