100 Ounce Silver futures (SIC) are the smallest silver futures contract on COMEX, part of CME Group. Each contract covers 100 troy ounces, one fiftieth of the 5,000 ounce COMEX Silver (SI) contract, and settles in cash against the SI settlement price, so no metal is delivered.
SIC moves in one cent increments worth $1.00 per contract, and a $1.00 move in silver equals $100. That small scale suits traders starting out in silver and accounts that want to add or reduce silver exposure 100 ounces at a time.
