Trading Futures, Options, and Hedging Instruments
Derivatives exchanges are specialized trading venues for financial instruments whose value is derived from an underlying asset – such as stocks, commodities, interest rates, or indices. They enable hedging, speculation, and price discovery in global markets. Without derivatives exchanges, modern financial markets would be significantly less stable and less efficient.
