Treasury futures, options & cash
Micro Treasury futures
At 1/10 the size of classic Treasury contracts, Micro Ultra 10-Year and Micro Ultra T-Bond futures offer access to the same benchmark U.S. Treasury exposure with smaller margin requirements and tick sizes.
Micro sized
1/10 the notional value and risk of Treasury futures, allowing greater access to the world’s most liquid Treasury market.
Cash settled
Unlike classic contracts which are physically delivered, Micro Treasuries offer the simplicity of cash delivery.
Pinpoint exposure
Micros follow Ultra contracts which closely track 10-Year and 30-Year tenors.
The Treasuries you love, now in a smaller size
Micro Ultra 10 and Micro Ultra T-Bond futures bring enhanced trading and risk management to two key points on the Treasury curve. Trade them outright or use listed ICS between the two tenors, in place of or in conjunction with classic Treasury futures to refine your positions. Get precise exposure with less margin, smaller tick sizes and a DV01 more in line with shorter-dated securities.
