While the total gross market value of all derivative contracts was $20.16 trillion as on June 2013, interest rate derivative contracts accounted for three-fourth of it at $15.16 trillion, according to latest estimates of Bank for International Settlement (BIS)

With all this information you have already generated a lot of interest about this new instrument [Interest Futures]. Can't say how with they perform in India but I am really curious to know and possibly trade if they will do good ... :clapping:

I m quite sure they will be illiquid

Since Banks and FII are allowed to trade these instruments, I think they will be extremely liquid.

More importantly, they are cash settled. It will attract speculators who will inturn provide liquidity and trends in the market.

75% of all derivative contracts in the world are interest rate derivatives.

IRFs were launched twice earlier but failed to pick up because of their complex structure.

The above line I read in a Times of India article. Now I am contemplating that this time the instrument succeeds .

It failed to succeed previously because they were physically settled and not cash settled.

Imagine trading Nifty futures which were settled based on delivery of shares of the underlying 50 stocks in the exact proportion.
