The CME has also recognised the attraction of smaller contracts to some participants and has launched what it calls Forex E-micros.

For those who haven’t the time to watch: “Our new Forex E-micro futures contracts provide the opportunity for a broader universe of customers to mitigate their counterparty risk by trading FX in CME’s $100 billion-a-day global FX liquidity pool,” says Derek Sammann, the exchange’s global head of FX products. “Active individual traders looking to participate in the global FX market, or small businesses seeking a cost-effective hedging tool for their FX risk, can choose Forex E-micro futures as a versatile and accessible new resource to manage their exposure.
