What are micro E-mini futures?
Micro E-mini futures products are a line of futures contracts on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME). Micro E-mini futures work just like classic E-mini index futures in that they allow you to effectively buy or sell a well-diversified portfolio of stocks, depending on your opinion of the overall stock market. The difference in the two products is their size; Micro E-mini futures are 1/10 the size of a classic E-mini. The CME offers Micro E-mini futures as a cost-efficient way for traders and investors to gain exposure to these four major U.S. indexes: S&P 500, NASDAQ-100, Dow Jones, and Russell 2000.
