    Most likely to take even more from smaller traders and to be able to advertise each tick is only $6.25 to compete against forex?

    I think it is marginally better for all traders. Having said that, I wouldn't want them to carry on and halve it again!
     
  6. I am confused. Currently the CME Group website states: "Minimum Price Fluctuation: $.0001 per Canadian dollar increments ($10.00/contract). $.00005 per Canadian dollar increments ($5.00/contract) for CAD/USD futures intra-currency spreads executed electronically." So why does the press release state that the current minimum is $12.50 and not $10.00?

    Well spotted. Probably a copy and paste job from the other one they halved.
