The E-Mini S&P 500 futures contract tracks the S&P 500 Index, a market-capitalization-weighted benchmark of 500 large U.S. publicly listed companies and one of the most widely referenced measures of U.S. equity market performance. Price drivers include corporate earnings, economic indicators, Federal Reserve policy, geopolitical developments, and broad investor risk appetite. The 'E-Mini' format was designed for electronic trading and has a smaller notional value than the full-sized S&P 500 futures contract, making it highly liquid and accessible. The contract is quoted in index points.
