CME Group announced plans to launch Bloomberg Commodity (BCOM) Subindex futures on March 31, pending regulatory review. These new contracts will be available across seven leading commodity index sectors, including Energy, Grains, Industrial Metals, Livestock, Precious Metals, Softs, and Ex-Agriculture & Livestock. This expansion provides investors with additional ways to capture commodity index sector exposure.
Paul Woolman, Global Head of Equity Index Products at CME Group, stated that these new tools will help traders hedge against adverse price moves or pursue opportunities in these markets. The addition of BCOM Subindex futures will also offer clients greater potential to access capital and margin efficiencies when implementing commodity index trading strategies. This builds on the success and liquidity of existing BCOM futures.
Bloomberg's Global Head of Index Linked Products, Umesh Gajria, expressed excitement about supporting CME Group's expansion of investable commodity products. The launch reflects the growing usage of BCOM-based strategies and offers investors new ways to manage sector-specific risks across key commodity segments. BCOM Subindex futures will be listed on and subject to the rules of CME.
