Mexican Overnight TIIE Funding Rate (F-TIIE) futures bring liquidity and enhanced risk management to Mexico’s short-term funding markets, while also supporting the objectives of the Central Bank of Mexico to develop a domestic funding curve on the F-TIIE rate – an IOSCO compliant, risk-free reference rate based on the highly developed and liquid Mexican repo market.
Complementing CME’s leading cleared OTC Mexican TIIE interest rate swaps market, F-TIIE futures will trade alongside CME SOFR futures and MXN/USD FX futures to offer a comprehensive hedging solution for the short-end of the Mexican curve. Spread trading and margin offset opportunities will also be available vs. SOFR, Eurodollar, and Fed Funds futures.
Spreading opportunities vs. 28-day TIIE rate
F-TIIE complements the 28-day forward looking rate either by supplementing risk or providing offset that is similar to IBOR/OIS trades in the United States.
Efficient hedge for Mexican Bondes D
Mexican Bondes D coupon interest is calculated from a similar index using the same compounding method, making F-TIIE futures a near perfect hedge or overlay for these securities.
Precise hedge for central bank
policy
Monthly F-TIIE futures offer an efficient tool for expressing a view or hedging risk around Central Bank of Mexico policy changes.
Creates discounting curve and benchmark for cross currency swaps
F-TIIE futures will help create a curve for domestic discounting of cash flows while also creating a benchmark for trading cross currency swaps vs. SOFR.
