"As CME Group continues to globalize its innovative product mix, the new E-mini gold and silver contracts will now allow a broader customer base, including institutional trading firms based in Asia, to hedge its risk in the precious metals markets," said Joe Raia, CME Group Managing Director of Energy and Metals Products and Services. "In addition, our customers continue to seek the security of CME Clearing and the capital efficiencies of cross-margining against our benchmark gold and silver futures contracts to manage their risk in these volatile economic times."....Full Press Release: Source |
