To throw in some more data, I've seen this behavior at all the exchanges, not just the maligned PHLX and AMEX. Namely, just to confirm what may be...
I do like and trade ES to hedge my stocks. I am interested in this CSI index to hedge my house. They seem to have put some effort into tying it to...

Anyone else find these house price index futures intriguing? http://www.cme.com/trading/prd/env/housingover16250.html Supposed to come out in...
