| | Financial future - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | (Expressing financial futures prices as 100 minus the implied interest rate was originally intended to make the contract price behave similarly to a Bond price in that an increase in price corresponds to a decrease in yield). | | | A financial future is a futures contract on a short term interest rate (STIR). | | | As an example, consider the definition of the International Money Market (IMM) eurodollar interest rate future, the most widely and deeply traded financial futures contract. |

| | Leo Melamed - Essays & Speeches - The Metamorphosis of Futures and Options |
| | Permanent strength for financial futures could be found by establishing first, that financial futures were a necessary tool in modern risk management and second, that they are the consequence of a long evolutionary process. | | | I knew we would not become a permanent member of the financial establishment until we proved that we were not simply a passing fancy or a momentary blip in the financial sky. | | | These futures contracts had no counterpart in the interbank market (as did their currency forbearers) and therefore, immediately drew dealers from the government securities sector. |

| | EconPapers: Using Financial Futures in Trading and Risk Management |
| | Futures are not a financing or investment vehicle per se, but a tool for transferring price risks associated with fluctuations in asset values. | | | Futures -- and derivatives generally -- allow economic agents to fine-tune the structure of their assets and liabilities to suit their risk preferences and market expectations. | | | The value of exchange-traded eurodollar derivatives (futures and options) is equal to roughly 13 times the value of the underlying market. |

| | By the end of the eighties, financial futures accounted for three-quarters of all futures volume, almost totally supplanting the agricultural commodities contracts that had been the futures industry's raison d'etre for over a hundred years. | | | Yet the stock-index future is cheaper to buy and may be exempt from certain taxes and charges to which stock ownership is subject. | | | Futures contracts have even been enlisted in the fight against air pollution and the effort to curb runaway health insurance costs. |
