E-Micro Forex Futures

Currency futures contracts traded on CME Globex that are one-tenth the size of standard Forex futures. Currency futures are exchange-traded futures contracts that have currency exchange rates as the underlying commodity. There are standard and E-micro contracts to suit a variety of traders' needs, accounts and risk tolerances.

The E-micro Forex futures contracts are offered exclusively by the CME Group and traded on CME Globex, an electronic futures trading platform. Unlike Forex, the currency futures market is regulated as a futures market and therefore has centralized pricing and clearing. 

Available E-micro Forex futures contracts include:

Australian dollar Futures

A futures contract that allows market participants to take a position on the value of the Australian Dollar or "Aussie Dollar" vs. the US Dollar.

- How do you trade Australian Dollar Futures?

If you have exposure to foreign currencies or are looking to accept risk in the FX marketplace, then trading FX futures offers you the opportunity to hedge your risk or express an opinion on the value of one currency versus another.
