Weekly expirations on the Eurodollar One-Year Mid-Curve 0ptions give risk managers the opportunity to trade Eurodollar options with high gamma on one of the most actively traded Eurodollar futures expirations, the fifth quarterly or first "Red" contract.
At any one time, there are at least five expirations available, including the regular "Serial" or "Quarterly" One-Year Mid-Curve expiration which would normally expire during the calendar month. The options expire at the conclusion of trading on each Friday that is not an expiration day for a Quarterly or a Serial One-Year Mid-Curve option.
Weekly Mid-Curve option expirations offer a new way for traders to take a view on upcoming economic releases and their effect upon the U.S. interest rate markets.
