CME Group announced plans to launch options on six E-mini Select Sector futures and on Dow Jones U.S. Real Estate Index futures on October 28, pending regulatory review. These new options are specifically designed to assist clients in managing volatility within individual equity sectors. This initiative provides more granular tools for market participants.
The introduction of these options aims to offer added flexibility and capital efficiencies for increasing or decreasing exposure to various segments of the broader equity market. This is particularly relevant given the significant dispersion observed across sectors this year. The new products build upon CME Group's existing suite of sector futures.
The company's current Sector futures product suite has demonstrated significant growth, with 2024-to-date average daily volume reaching a record 21,000 contracts and open interest at a record 267,000 contracts. The expansion into options for these popular futures further enhances CME Group's equity index offerings. This move is expected to attract more traders seeking precise risk management solutions.
