What are interest rate derivatives?

Why trade CFDs?
- Use leverage for a decreased initial outlay*
- Deal on rising and falling markets
- Pay no stamp duty3
- Offset losses against profits for CGT purposes3
- Trade 17,000+4 markets
- Use prices based on the underlying market
*CFD trading involves high risk. That’s because leverage can magnify both your profits and your losses as they’ll be based on the full exposure to the trade, not just the initial margin deposit required to open it. This means losses as well as profits could far outweigh your margin, so always ensure you’re trading within your means.
Interest rate trading costs: spreads
| Normal CFD contract | |
|---|---|
| SONIA (3-month) | 1 |
| Australian 3-Day Interbank Rate | 1* |
| Euribor (3-month) | 1 |
| SOFR (3-month) | 1 |
Spreads may be offered as a fixed or variable amount. If variable spreads are in use, then the spread shown in this table is the amount of IG spread added to the underlying futures market spread. Any variable spreads are marked with an asterisk (*).
Interest rate CFD product details
With CFDs, the difference in the underlying interest rate’s price from when you opened your position versus when you’ve closed it determines your profit – or loss. Interest Rate CFDs Futures are charged in the spread, so you’ll pay no commission charges.
