A more precise hedge for 20-year Treasury exposure
20-Year U.S. Treasury Bond futures will offer greater efficiency and precision in managing exposure at the 20-year maturity point on the U.S. Treasury curve. Enjoy new curve and basis spreading opportunities with a contract that creates a close proxy for forward-starting cash 20-year bond exposures through a deliverable basket of original issue 20-year and 30-year Treasury bonds with remaining term to maturity between 19 years 2 months and 19 years 11 months.
