CME Group will begin 24/7 trading for its existing 1-Ounce Gold futures contract on July 26. The exchange will also introduce a new 10-Barrel WTI Crude Oil contract with continuous trading access on August 30. The new crude contract covers 10 barrels per unit.
The standard WTI futures contract size remains 1,000 barrels. Both initiatives originate from CME Group, which operates the futures markets for these commodities. The gold contract already exists; the crude contract is new.
The smaller crude contract size targets participants who seek exposure without trading the full 1,000-barrel unit. CME Group has not released further contract specifications in the announcements.
