New Product Group Offers Unique Price Discovery Opportunities

Economic indicators, such as Nonfarm Payroll, the Consumer Price Index, and the Gross Domestic Product do more than provide helpful information regarding business activity and cycles. When published, they can have a direct impact on financial markets across a wide variety of asset classes.

While existing investment vehicles provide exposure to these indicators, none of these tools offer sufficient market transparency that customers need to directly hedge the impact or speculate on the results of these announcements.

Recognizing this need, CME Group has created Economic Event Futures and Options which provide complete price transparency, easy accessibility and the counterparty credit assurance provided by CME Clearing.

As employment data is one of the most widely watched set of economic indicators, Nonfarm Payroll Futures and Options will be the first Economic Event products introduced by CME Group.
