Derivatives market recovers gradually, most actively in interest rate derivatives segment

The segment of interest rate derivatives has been developing most actively mainly thanks to transactions conducted by major banks and the growth of lending at variable rates.

Transactions with some types of underlying commodities have not recovered yet or remain at minimum levels. Precious metals are predominantly used as underlying assets for commodity derivatives.

Transactions with other types of derivatives are conducted irregularly, often on a one-off basis.

More details are available in the information and analytical commentary Derivatives Markets.
