Interest Rates

What are interest rate products?

Interest rate products are used for various purposes, including managing interest rate risk, speculating on future rate movements, and optimizing investment portfolios. They enable market participants to hedge against adverse rate changes or profit from rate fluctuations. These products are traded in derivative markets through standardized contracts like interest rate futures and options, as well as over-the-counter (OTC) instruments such as interest rate swaps and forward rate agreements
