As announced by CME Group, with the Price Precision Extension initiative, CME products with up to 9 decimals may be listed and traded. On Sunday, January 13 (trade date Monday, January 14), pending regulatory approval, the 2-Year Treasury Note futures, all 2-Year Treasury Future Spreads (including Calendar Spreads, Tail Spreads and Inter-Commodity Spreads with a 2-Year Treasury Future) along with the futures portion of covered options UDS will move from 7 decimals to 8 to support trading at 1/8 of 1/32.
