What are interest rate derivatives?
Interest rate derivatives are financial products used for trading that ‘derive’ their underlying value from the interest rate. With them, you can take a position on the global short-term interest rate, going long or short depending on your outlook.

Why trade CFDs?
- Use leverage for a decreased initial outlay*
- Trade on rising and falling markets
- Trade 17,000 markets
- Use prices based on the underlying market
*CFD trading involves high risk. That’s because leverage can magnify both your profits and your losses as they’ll be based on the full exposure to the trade, not just the initial margin deposit required to open it. This means losses as well as profits could far outweigh your margin, so always ensure you’re trading within your means.
Interest rate trading costs: spreads
| Normal CFD contract | |
|---|---|
| SONIA (3-month) | 1 |
| Australian 30-Day Interbank Rate | 1* |
| Euribor (3-month) | 1 |
| SOFR (3-month) | 1 |
Spreads may be offered as a fixed or variable amount. If variable spreads are in use, then the spread shown in this table is the amount of IG spread added to the underlying futures market spread. Any variable spreads are marked with an asterisk (*).
Interest rate CFD product details
With CFDs, the difference in the underlying interest rate’s price from when you opened your position versus when you’ve closed it determines your profit – or loss and you’ll be charged in the spread, so you’ll pay no additional commission charges.
CFDs are complex instruments and come with a high risk of losing money rapidly due to leverage.
