Derivatives markets are constantly on the move. Credit products currently feature most prominently in the considerations of derivatives providers and sophisticated users, though there are plenty of other developments contending for attention. These include asset packaging, access products, volatility derivatives, the declining role of exotic products, and the hedging of corporate share-incentive schemes. Geographically, Europe and the US remain highly active markets for derivatives and Asia is also important, though oversupply may be developing there. Australia is beginning to attract attention, not least because of the special derivative needs of an electricity market in the course of being deregulated. |
