Current Status of the Global Derivatives Market
Subeesh V. K., Liya K.
Abstract: The worldwide 'derivative market' has grown at an exponential rate during the previous decade. Derivatives perform critical purposes such as risk mitigation through hedging, market efficiency, and underlying asset deal price discovery. Derivatives were first developed as risk management tools, but now the majority of people use them to make speculative gains. The volume of derivatives trading is expanding every day, indicating the importance of derivatives. This study aims to identify and summarize the present status of global as well as Indian derivative market. The results of this analysis showed that the volumes of exchange-traded derivatives kept up their upward trend, with options seeing a particularly sharp increase, especially in the Asia Pacific area. The trading volume in the Americas and EMEA regions increased little from the previous year. Additionally, this study highlights the preference for equities derivatives over other assets, noting that the most traded equity derivative products worldwide are Bank Nifty Index Options and Nifty Index options of NSE India, with over 100% growth in trade compared to 2021.
