Summary
Monday’s launch will let investors trade cash-settled single-stock futures tied to more than 50 major U.S. companies, expanding CME Group’s equity derivatives lineup.
The contracts are designed to provide leveraged exposure without requiring traders to buy the underlying shares or use options.
Each future will track the stock’s closing price and settle in cash, avoiding physical share delivery.
The rollout gives investors another listed instrument for taking directional bets on individual U.S. stocks through the futures market.
