About European Overnight Index futures
European Overnight Index futures bring enhanced trading and risk management to three key eurozone interest rates; the Euro Short-Term Rate (€STR), the German RepoFunds Rate (RFR), and the Italian RFR.
Each can be traded outright via Three-Month futures or as a spread to Euribor via single contract basis spread futures, enabling granular hedging across the forward curve as well as seamless IBOR/OIS basis trading.
