Micro futures list the "micro futures list" shows

The "micro futures list" shows stronger liquidity in Micro Treasury Yield futures, especially the 10-Year note. Yield compression is expected if the Fed signals a policy shift sooner than market consensus. Almost needless to say, without TSMC, the world's microchip landscape would look considerably different. But just as cryptocurrencies carry risks, futures in general hold unique risks of their own. Futures can be subject to heightened volatility that leads to sharp, sudden price swings. And remember: futures trade on margin , which allows a trader to deposit only a fraction of the notional value of the contract to establish a position. But margin requirements for CME crypto futures, for example, are higher than for other financial contracts. In December 2024, the maintenance margin for a micro Bitcoin contract was about $2,452, or about 24% of the contract’s total value. In contrast, the maintenance margin for a micro E-mini S&P 500 index futures contract was $1,484, or about 5% of the contract value. Supply concerns in Brazil could push prices higher into the next quarter.
