Tap into the precision of a smaller-sized Treasury Yield contract

Discover a streamlined, intuitive approach to trading interest rate markets with Micro Treasury Yield futures, contracts based on one of the world's largest and most influential markets.

Key features

Traded in yield

Directly references a well-known US Treasury market metric: yields of recently auctioned (or, on the run) Treasury securities, the most followed issues within each tenor.

Four major benchmarks

Trade the four most watched points on the curve: 2-Year Notes, 5-Year Notes, 10-Year Notes, and 30-Year Bonds, anchored by BrokerTec US Treasury benchmarks.

Constant BPV for easier spread trading

All four contracts are sized at a constant basis point value of $10/basis point of yield (0.01%), making it easier to spread trade. Take positions on the rate’s direction or the yield curve’s shape.

Flexibility of a Micro contract

Small BPV enables a low-cost alternative to other interest rate offerings and brings more flexibility to how active traders manage interest rate exposure.
