An interest rate futures is a futures contract with an
interest-bearing instrument as the underlying asset. Interest
rate futures are used to hedge against the risk of interest
rates moving in an adverse direction. For example, borrowers
face the risk of interest rates rising. Futures use the inverse
relationship between interest rates and bond prices to hedge
against the risk of rising interest rates. A borrower will enter
to sell a future today. Then if interest rates rise in the
future, the value of the future will fall , and hence a profit
can be made when closing out of the future. 5-Year Thai Government Bond Futures launched since Oct 18, 2010.
