CME Group introduced Micro E-mini futures five years ago to give market participants new tools to manage risks efficiently. These bite-sized contracts include top U.S. stock indexes like the S&P 500 and Nasdaq-100. Retail traders can trade with smaller sums and lower margin requirements, with contracts expiring five times a week for increased trading opportunities. The portfolio has since expanded to include S&P MidCap 400 and SmallCap 600 futures for further hedging in the U.S. small and midcap stock universe. Traders now have more ways to navigate market events in this new era of global markets.
