The global derivatives market has hit a record high, with notional outstanding surpassing 715 trillion. According to the official information, this unprecedented growth highlights the increasing reliance on derivatives as a tool for risk management amid changing economic conditions.
Surge in the Derivatives Market
The surge in the derivatives market is primarily driven by institutional hedging strategies aimed at mitigating the impacts of heightened interest rate volatility. As central banks around the world adjust their monetary policies, investors are turning to derivatives to protect their portfolios from potential fluctuations.
Transition from LIBOR to New Risk-Free Rates
Additionally, the transition from LIBOR to new risk-free rates, mandated by regulatory changes, has prompted a reevaluation of trading strategies among institutional investors. This shift is leading to a greater emphasis on the comparative advantages of:
- Exchange-Traded Derivatives (ETD)
- Over-the-Counter (OTC) Derivatives
as market participants seek to optimize their exposure to evolving global monetary policies.
