Introduction

An interest rate futures contract is "an agreement to buy or sell a package of debt instruments at a specified future date at a price that is fixed today." The underlying assets of an interest rate futures contract are different interest bearing instruments like T-Notes, T-Bills, T-Bonds, deposits and so on.

Interest rate futures contracts were first traded on October 20, 1975, in the Chicago Board of Trade.

Such contracts can have short-term (less than one year) and long-term (more than one year) interest bearing instruments as the underlying asset.

In the US, short-term interest rate futures like 90-day T-Bill and 3 month Eurodollar time deposits are more popular (See Exhibit I for actively traded short-term interest rate futures). Long-term interest rate futures include the 10-year treasury note futures contract, the treasury bond futures contract and more (See Exhibit II for actively traded long-term interest rate futures)...
