CME Expands Silver Trading to 24/7
Спикеры
Jin Hennig
— Managing Director and Global Head of Metals, CME Group
CME Group plans to expand 24/7 trading to 100-ounce silver futures after strong retail demand for its around-the-clock one-ounce gold futures, which traded over $200 million in notional value over three weekends. Jin Hennig says the move is driven by self-directed, digitally savvy retail traders who want smaller contract sizes and weekend price discovery. The expansion continues CME's sequence from crypto to gold to silver and could support broader adoption of 24/7 metals trading.
- CME is expanding 24/7 trading to silver futures pending regulatory approval.
- Weekend gold futures volume exceeded $200 million notional over three weekends.
- Demand is led by self-directed retail traders wanting smaller contract sizes.
- Silver is seen as a natural next step because it is similar to gold.
- 24/7 trading aims to reduce weekend price gaps for traders.
- Metals demand is roughly half US and half non-US clients.
- CME sees 24/7 trading as a longer-term direction driven by client demand.
Идеи
Gold futures weekend demand validated
The 24/7 one-ounce gold futures contract has already shown strong demand, with over $200 million in weekend notional volume over three weekends, mainly from retail interest. This validates weekend gold trading as a liquid venue and demonstrates that client demand is present.
Silver futures get 24/7 retail access
CME is extending 24/7 trading to 100-ounce silver futures because its around-the-clock one-ounce gold futures contract traded over $200 million in notional value over three weekends, driven by self-directed retail traders. Silver is a natural next step as a similar product, and the change aims to give traders weekend price discovery and reduce weekend gaps.
CME benefits from retail 24/7 demand
CME's sequential rollout of 24/7 trading from crypto to gold to silver is driven by demonstrated retail demand for smaller, regulated, always-on contracts, with metals being a global asset class split roughly half US and half non-US. This positions CME for continued client-driven growth in 24/7 futures.
