Interest rate futures, such as S&P futures, provide a valuable hedge for both public and private money managers. Trading in T-Bill, T-Bond, and Eurodollar futures represents approximately one half of all futures market activity, and MF Global provides unmatched expertise, coupled with unparalleled access to the market 24 hours a day.
A rise or fall in the S&P index is perhaps the chief indicator of overall short-range market direction. The S&P 500 index contains many of the largest companies in the world, therefore when S&P futures escalate; this suggests a growing pressure on the market. However, if S&P futures decline, this may be a sign of a decreasing trend in the stock market.
MF Global’s financial team meticulously monitors the S&P equity index to offer clients the most innovative insights into the recommended direction of trading S&P futures. S&P futures offer investors an opportunity to participate in the ebb and flow of significant market changes without making individual trading decisions on any number of single equities. Trading S&P futures provides clients with investment optimization and added protection to their investment portfolio since the indices track closely against the dynamic prices of their underlying securities.
E-mini futures, which are smaller versions of stock index futures contracts, provide a highly versatile, resourceful, and effectual means of capitalizing on stocks. The E-mini futures volume is the fastest growing product in this sector. MF Global’s highly experienced brokers clear more E-mini contracts than any other Futures Commission Merchant.
