STIR Futures & Options

EURIBOR Futures and Options

Liquidity, choice and capital efficiency

With interest rate expectations pivoting sharply to the upside, traders, hedgers and risk managers must prepare for what’s coming. Managing short-term interest rate risk is paramount in this new era of inflationary pressures and hawkish central bank policies. Euribor Futures and Options are an important tool in managing that risk.

Euribor stands for Euro Interbank Offered Rate. The Euribor rates are based on the interest rates at which Eurozone banks borrow funds from one another. The rate is calculated and published daily by EMMI.

Since 2019, the calculation of Euribor has moved from a quote based to a transaction-based methodology. Given this methodology, supply and demand determine the actual rate, but it reflects inflation and rate expectations.

We offer Three-month EURIBOR futures and options and one-to-four-year mid curve options.


Eurex Short Term Interest Rates Offering

By expanding the existing Partnership Program to include short-term interest rate (STIR) products, Eurex aims to strengthen its interest rate derivatives suite, enhancing cross-product efficiencies. The STIR offering also supports European systemic stability and Europe’s strategic autonomy agenda.

Eurex intends to create an EU-based liquidity pool for Euro short-term interest rate derivatives through the creation of choice, the fostering of liquidity, and the offer of significant capital efficiencies. Please visit the STIR partnership program site for more information.

A key element of the Eurex STIR offering is cross-margining within the Euro derivatives franchise, delivering unparalleled savings in collateral usage.
