Abstract

In this chapter, we discuss two common types of term contracts: forwards, which are mainly traded over the counter (OTC), and futures, which are actively traded on many exchanges. The underlying is in both cases a T-claim $\mathcal{Y}$ , for some fixed future date T. This can be an exchange rate, an interest rate, a commodity such as copper, any traded or non-traded asset, an index, etc. We discuss interest rate futures and futures rates in a separate section and relate them to forward rates in the Gaussian HJM model.
