CME Group to launch one-ounce gold futures to meet retail investor demand

The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) Group will offer a one-ounce gold futures contract starting in January 2025 to meet the strong demand from retail investors at a time when gold prices are hitting new highs. On December 5, CME Group announced that the futures contract will be listed from January 13, but it still needs to wait for regulatory approval. The new futures will enrich CME's retail-friendly micro gold and silver futures contracts. Micro gold and silver futures are among the fastest growing metals products, with record trading volumes this year, CME said.
