Derivatives and Futures for Newbies

Even though derivative goods have been used since the dawn of time, the recent financial turmoil has sped up this field's advancement. Products that fluctuate in value in response to changes in the value of an underlying product are known as derivative products. Derivatives may now be used to manage risk, profit from arbitrage opportunities, and engage in speculation. Depending on how they are traded over the counter and on the stock market, derivative instruments can be categorized. The transactions that are employed the most frequently include forward, swap, interest swap, and option trades.
