About CME Canadian Dollar Options

CME® Canadian dollar futures and options on futures contracts offer financial institutions, investment managers, corporations and private investors with a means to manage risks associated with currency rate fluctuation and to take advantage of profit opportunities stemming from changes in currency rates.

CME Canadian dollar futures contracts first started trading in 1972 as part of the International Monetary Market, a division of the Exchange. Options contracts began trading in 1988. Currently CME offers a forum for trading Canadian dollars in its FX futures markets on CME Globex® as well as on the trading floor.

Futures contracts are also traded in the CME Australian dollar/Canadian dollar, CME Canadian dollar/Japanese yen, and CME Euro FX/Canadian dollar as part of cross rate currency futures.
