Dear Group,
My understanding is as follows:
SPY, produced by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange, is the cash index on which the
CME S&P 500 futures contracts (nearby is currently SPU) are based.
SPX, produced by the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, is the cash index on
which the CBOE S&P 500 options contracts (SPX calls and puts) are based.
OEX, produced by the Chicago Board of Options Exchange, is the cash index on
which the CBOE S&P 100 options contracts (OEX calls and puts) are based.
Sincerely,
Richard Josslin
