What are interest rate derivatives?

CFD trading on interest rate futures

With us, you can trade interest rate futures with CFD accounts. Let’s look at the features of CFDs:
Why trade CFDs?
  1. 1. Use leverage for a decreased initial outlay*
  2. 2. Deal on rising and falling markets
  3. 3. Trade 17,000 markets
  4. 4. Use prices based on the underlying market

*CFD trading involves high risk. That’s because leverage can magnify both your profits and your losses as they’ll be based on the full exposure to the trade, not just the initial margin deposit required to open it. This means losses as well as profits could far outweigh your margin, so always ensure you’re trading within your means.
