• Currency Options:
  A Currency option contract is an exchange traded contract in which the buyer or the holder of the contract has the right, but not the obligation, to buy (for a call option) or sell (for a put option) a specific amount of a given currency at a specified price (the strike price) during a specified period of time. On the other hand, the seller or writer of the contract has the obligation to fulfill the terms under the contract.
• Interest Rate Futures:
  An Interest Rate Future is a financial derivative (a futures contract) with an interest bearing instrument, like a Government Security, as the underlying asset.
