Reports indicate that the CME will commence trading futures on the NASDAQ Composite Index on October 27th in E-mini format. Currently only the NASDAQ 100 Index has a futures contract. Why the need for this? Personally I think it will just reduce the liquidity in the NDX-100 or maybe it will have a still birth like the Fortune 100 contract. Any thoughts?
