CME Group Introduces Sovereign Yield Spread Futures

 

CME Group has identified a need for market participants to be able to trade a capital-efficient product – cleared through one facility – which allows anyone with exposure to U.S. and European government bonds to manage risk. Sovereign Yield Spread Futures meet this need and will also help facilitate the price and risk transparency that global central banks desire.

Trading in these new Sovereign Yield Spread Futures is set to begin May 23rd and the initial six countries to participate in the launch are France (OAT), Germany (Bund), Italy (BTP), Netherlands (DSL), United Kingdom (Treasury Gilts), and United States (Treasury Notes). These products are listed by and subject to the rules of CME.
