As the world’s leading derivatives marketplace, CME Group enables clients to trade futures, options, cash and OTC markets, optimize portfolios, and analyze data – empowering market participants worldwide to efficiently manage risk and capture opportunities. CME Group exchanges offer the widest range of global benchmark products across all major asset classes based on interest rates, equity indexes, foreign exchange, energy, agricultural products and metals.  The company offers futures and options on futures trading through the CME Globex® platform, fixed income trading via BrokerTec and foreign exchange trading on the EBS platform. In addition, it operates one of the world’s leading central counterparty clearing providers, CME Clearing.

The CME Group exchanges include four Designated Contract Markets (DCMs), the Chicago Mercantile Exchange Inc (“CME”), the Chicago Board of Trade, Inc. (“CBOT”), the New York Mercantile Exchange, Inc. (“NYMEX”), and the Commodity Exchange, Inc. (“COMEX”). The Clearing Division of CME is a derivative clearing organization (“DCO”) for CME Group DCMs.

Exchange traded and cleared Over-The-Counter (OTC) derivatives are not suitable for all investors and involve the risk of loss. Exchange traded and OTC derivatives are leveraged investments, and because only a percentage of a contract’s value is required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money initially deposited for an exchange traded or OTC derivative position. Therefore, investors should only use funds that they can afford to lose without affecting their lifestyles and only a portion of those funds should be devoted to any one trade because investors cannot expect to profit on every trade as it does not take into account their objectives, financial situation or needs. Investors should obtain appropriate professional advice before acting on or relying on the contents of the Website.

All matters pertaining to rules and specifications herein are made subject to and are superseded by official CME, CBOT, and NYMEX and COMEX rulebooks. Current rules should be consulted in all cases including matters relevant to contract specifications.
