Euro FX Futures Futures


If you want access to the deepest currency markets in the world, then the Eurozone might be a contract to consider. From an equities perspective, the euro contracts also offer stock traders a way to hedge or strategically trade the Eurozone, or moves by the European Central Bank along with other macro-economic moves. And for stock traders with a lot of US-based companies, it’s worth noting that the European Union ranks at the fourth largest trading partner of the United States; Germany alone ranks sixth.

 The Euro/US dollar (EUR/USD) futures contract at CME offers a great way for traders to get exposure to the 27-nation single-currency region. This is a deep and liquid contract that is available in 125,000 euro notional size, in both futures and options. There is also the E-mini EUR/USD and E-micro EUR/USD futures contracts, sized at 62,500 Euros and 12,500 euros respectively.
