The Micro E-mini Russell 2000 Index futures contract tracks the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of approximately 2,000 smaller US publicly traded companies. It is widely used as a benchmark for US small-cap equity market performance and is often seen as a gauge of domestic economic sentiment, since small-cap companies tend to be more exposed to the US economy than large multinationals. The contract is a smaller-sized version of the standard E-mini Russell 2000 futures, making it accessible to a broader range of market participants. The price is quoted in index points.
