Mini and micro contracts
Mini and micro contracts are smaller versions of a standard futures contract: micro gold is 10 ounces against 100, micro WTI 100 barrels against 1,000. Same price, a tenth of the margin. CME's one-ounce gold went 24/7 in July 2026, so a weekend gold price now exists outside perpetuals; sizes on Mochatrade.
