If you’re dealing with E-mini US equity futures on the CME, be aware that the June contract expires this week.
With the current market activity, it’s easy to get distracted. If you’re new to futures trading, consider reading “Understanding Futures Expiration & Contract Roll” for a detailed explanation. If you just need the critical dates, refer to “Equity Index Roll Dates.”
Here’s a key point: According to CME Group, “Equity Index futures allow market participants to roll their futures positions from one quarterly futures contract month to the next at any time they choose.” While you can roll over at any time, it’s typically best to switch to the new contract when it becomes the most actively traded. That time is now.
Officially, the roll date for equity products is the Monday before the third Friday of the expiration month. Make sure to adjust your positions accordingly.
