Re: Mini Nikkei Futures?

Hi Boony,

While the futures price can at times mirror the underlying cash index it generally does not. There is typically a premium attached to the futures which simplistically, includes cost of carry and any dividends due for the duration of the contract.

Guys, do not bother with the CME contract, my understanding is it is pretty much an after hours market. Focus on the OSE or SGX IMHO. I prefer the mini on OSE.

With kind regards,
MK
