> Standard contracts cover 250 BCH or 10,000 UNI, with smaller Micro versions. U.S. jobless claims arrive Thursday, followed by flash PMIs Thursday evening and Friday.

CME Group listed Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Uniswap (UNI) futures for trading on the Oct. 19 trade date, expanding its crypto derivatives lineup as U.S. labor data and global business surveys approach.

The listing follows [CME’s previously announced plan for the two contracts](<https://www.tokenpost.com/news/business/23491>). Standard Bitcoin Cash futures cover 250 BCH per contract, while Micro futures cover 25 BCH. The corresponding Uniswap contracts cover 10,000 UNI and 1,000 UNI. The contracts provide another way to manage price exposure, though their listing alone does not establish trading volume or demand for either token.

Inflation releases are spread across several countries this week. Canada released its September consumer price index Monday, showing a 3.1% increase from a year earlier. The U.K. is scheduled to release its September figures Wednesday at 2 a.m. ET (06:00 UTC), and Japan’s September report is due Friday.

U.S. weekly jobless claims are scheduled for Thursday at 8:30 a.m. ET (12:30 UTC). The release provides a weekly measure of new applications for unemployment benefits.

Flash purchasing managers’ indexes, or PMIs, begin Thursday evening for U.S. readers. Japan’s survey is scheduled for 8:30 p.m. ET Thursday (00:30 UTC Friday). Friday’s releases include the euro area at 4 a.m. ET (08:00 UTC), the U.K. at 4:30 a.m. ET (08:30 UTC) and the U.S. at 9:45 a.m. ET (13:45 UTC).
