Product Snapshot: 13-Week Treasury Bill Futures
The 13-Week Treasury Bill (T-Bill) futures contract tracks the cash U.S. Treasury bill market and settles to the weekly U.S. Treasury bill auction rate. U.S. Treasury bills are considered risk-free debt instruments. These bills provide the foundation for the money markets and are seen as reflecting “pure” interest rate movements.

  • Hedge short-term interest rate risk in the money markets
  • Take advantage of profit opportunities stemming from changes in T-bill interest rates

    • Available virtually around the clock, around the world
    • Complete price transparency and anonymity
