Mini-DAX® Futures - The easiest way to trade the DAX®

This month, our Mini-DAX® Futures celebrate their 1st birthday and we are really proud of how they turned out.

More than 5.5 million contracts have been traded since October 2015 and the average daily volume has increased from 22,000 to 37,000 contracts in the meantime.

With increasing international demand since this summer, we are seeing days where turnover is above 50,000 contracts. And in most cases the spread is just 1 point.

Smart investors know that a significantly lower contract value of just EUR 5 means Mini-DAX® Futures can deliver optimized risk protection, low margin rates and cost efficiency.

Key advantages:

  • The contract size equals EUR 50,000, if DAX® is at a level of 10,000
  • Low margin of currently ca. EUR 4,700
  • Transparent and liquid order book thanks to multiple Market Makers
  • Safety of fulfillment as Eurex Clearing mitigates counterparty risk

More information on our DAX® derivatives is available here. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact your local Sales representative.
