Charles Schwab adds single stock futures on more than 50 U.S. equities

Charles Schwab has begun offering single stock futures on more than 50 U.S. equities through thinkorswim, extending distribution of CME Group's cash-settled contracts launched on July 27. CME's lineup includes 55 standard-sized and 22 micro-sized contracts on stocks from major U.S. benchmarks, and the exchange is marketing them as hedges during sector rotation after the Magnificent Seven helped lift the S&P 500 about 95% since 2023. CME said those seven stocks - Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla - reached roughly 35% of the index in early June 2026 before easing to about 32% as leadership broadened into semiconductors, healthcare and financials, while the equal-weight S&P 500 rose by about half as much as the standard index over the same period. The quarterly contracts trade from 6 p.m. ET Sunday to 5 p.m. ET Friday, offer leveraged long and short exposure without time-value decay, and cost $2.25 per contract per side at Schwab for futures-approved accounts.
