CME Group to Launch 24/7 Trading for 100-Ounce Silver Futures in September
CME Group will begin 24/7 trading of its 100-ounce Silver futures contract starting September, following strong retail demand and the successful launch of 24/7 trading for 1-ounce Gold futures in July. The metals division recorded a 55% increase in average daily volume in the first half of 2026, with silver futures averaging $50 billion in daily notional value. Both contracts are designed with smaller notional exposure to attract retail traders, pending regulatory approval.
