E-Mini Nifty Futures Live

emininiftyfutures
As we all know Nifty futures is available for trading  from 19 Jul 2010 in Chicago Mercantile Exchange CME, more details have come into flow.  Two futures contracts, namely E-mini Nifty Futures and E-micro Nifty Futures would be available almost 23 hours all trading days. The first one will be valued at $10 times the current value of nifty index on the NSE, the other one, will be valued at $2 times the nifty index value at that time.

The interesting point is, since nifty futures is also traded on the Singapore Exchange (SGX) ,  traders can take a position on any of the two bourses and offset it at the other exchange and this is because SGX has mutual offset agreement with CME. It would provide good arbitrage opportunities for institutions and traders having access to both the exchanges.

The live rates can be accessed from E-Mini Nifty Futures and E-Micro Nifty Futures .

Also the average returns for the past years is about 20% despite the markets being down 24%. The lesson is pretty much clear - long term investing pays and one need not bother too much about the ups and downs of the markets. During the past few years, the returns from investing in individual stocks have been varied.  Despite markets being at 2 year highs, only a few stocks are at similar highs, while most of them are still languishing well below their historical highs and are down anywhere between 8
