CME Micro Crude Oil
Micro WTI Crude Oil futures will give traders of all sizes a smaller, more precise instrument for managing crude oil price exposure. At 1/10 the size of the benchmark WTI futures contract, Micro WTI Crude Oil futures offers the same robust transparency and price discovery of larger WTI futures with smaller margin requirements.
Edge Clear has pushed for the creation and delivery for this product since the launch of Micro Index Futures in May 2019. We are delighted to see this product go live and are happy to offer it at our competitive Micros pricing.
