Derivatives Trading

 

About Derivatives Trading

Short-term financial instruments having a set expiration date are known as derivatives trading. Stocks, commodities, money, indexes, exchange rates, and even interest rates can serve as the underlying asset. The market is used in derivative trading to purchase and sell these financial contracts.

Why is Derivatives Trading important?

For trading purposes, derivatives are favored over underlying assets because they provide more leverage, more liquidity, and cheaper costs as overall transaction costs are lower than those of the spot market.

Derivatives provide essential roles such as risk mitigation through hedging, guaranteeing market efficiency, discovering transaction prices for the underlying asset, etc. Risk transfer, risk diversification, risk allocation, and risk neutralization are methods for reducing risk.
