CME Group U.S. credit futures to begin trading on June 17

CME Group’s new credit futures are scheduled to begin trading on Monday, June 17, pending regulatory review. Launching alongside the company’s U.S. Treasury complex, CME Group credit futures will aim to help market participants manage duration risk through an intercommodity spread with U.S. Treasury futures. The contracts will be based on the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Index, which measures the performance of investment grade corporate bonds, and the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield Very Liquid Index, which is designed to measure a liquid, diversified component of the high yield corporate bond market.
