S&P 500 Futures & Options
Split in Half!!!

Effective October 31, 1997, after the close of business, the Chicago Mercantile Exchange will halve the S&P 500 Futures and Options contract multiplier to $250.00. Other changes include: a minimum tick size will move up to .10 points (equal to $25.00); an increase in position limits to 20,000 contracts; and the margins will be cut in half to reflect the split. The minimum tick size for calendar spreads will remain at .05 points (equal to $12.50). Each S&P 500 futures option will continue to expire into one S&P 500 futures contract.

The contract revisions apply to existing as well as newly listed contracts and will not affect the index level of the S&P 500 Stock Index.
