CME E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average Index Futures

Gain exposure to 30 of the largest U.S. companies with a single contract.

E-mini Dow Jones Industrial Average Index futures (YM) give you exposure to 30 of the largest companies in the U.S. through a single contract. With a contract unit of $5 × the Dow Jones Industrial Average Index, E-mini Dow ($5) futures represent a portion of the standard Dow Jones Industrial Average futures contract.

These contracts let you take a short position on the index without stock loans or variable fees. You can also execute a basis trade relative to the official index close through Basis Trade at Index Close (BTIC), which adds flexibility and efficiency.

YM trades on CME Globex from Sunday 6:00 p.m. to Friday 5:00 p.m. ET, with a daily maintenance period from 5:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. ET.
