International derivatives marketplace CME Group today announced it will launch a suite of micro grain and oilseed futures contracts on February 24, 2025, pending regulatory review.
These contracts will be cash-settled and one-tenth the size of the company’s Corn, Wheat, Soybean, Soybean Oil and Soybean Meal futures.
“Our benchmark grain and oilseed futures products are the most liquid and highly-utilized markets in global agriculture today,” said John Ricci, Managing Director and Global Head of Agriculture at CME Group. “These smaller-sized contracts will provide additional flexibility for market participants to manage their agricultural portfolios with greater precision.”
Micro Corn, Wheat, Soybean, Soybean Oil and Soybean Meal futures will be listed by and subject to the rules of CBOT.
