CME Group has developed this handy pocket guide to help you

in converting metric tons to U.S. measurements.

How to Use this Guide Example:

To convert 11,000 metric tons of corn to bushels, just add the

appropriate conversion listed in the table on Page 4.

10,000 metric tons = 393,683 bushels

+ 1,000 metric tons = 39,368 bushels

11,000 metric tons = 433,051 bushels

We have also included price conversion tables equating the

dollar value of a given commodity to the dollar value in metric

tons. We hope you ﬁnd these conversion tables useful in

meeting your hedging needs.

Note: There may be a slight discrepancy between the charts and

formulas as a result of rounding.

Futures trading is not suitable for all investors, and involves the risk of loss. Futures

are a leveraged investment, and because only a percentage of a contract’s value is

required to trade, it is possible to lose more than the amount of money deposited

for a futures position. Therefore, traders should only use funds that they can afford

to lose without affecting their lifestyles. And only a portion of those funds should

be devoted to any one trade because they cannot expect to proﬁt on every trade.
