FMX’s latest addition, FMX Futures Exchange, launched only a month ago, but a new white paper from Coalition Greenwich (a division of CRISIL) is already examining its industry benefits. "The Portfolio Margining Imperative for Interest-Rate Derivatives” stresses how the new exchange and partnership between FMX and LCH will disrupt the U.S. interest rate futures landscape, providing market participants with potential savings – as much as 80% – when clearing futures and swaps positions all in one place.  

A futures contract is a standardised legal agreement to buy or sell a commodity, currency, or financial instrument at a predetermined price on a specified future date. These contracts are highly leveraged financial derivatives traded on exchanges, enabling large-scale exposure with a small initial investment (margin, typically 2-15% of the contract's value). Futures contracts serve various purposes: 🔵 Hedging/Risk management: They offer cost-effective hedging against price fluctuations, helping mitigate risks by locking in prices. 🔵 Speculation: Market participants can leverage futures contracts to speculate on price directions efficiently. 🔵 Price discovery: Futures contracts contribute to establishing fair and transparent prices for underlying assets by reflecting market sentiment. G. H. Financials is a leading independent global clearer, providing access to major futures markets.
