Financial derivatives are contracts whose value is derived from an underlying asset, index, or rate, such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, or interest rates. Common types include options, futures, forwards, and swaps, used by traders, corporations, and fund managers to hedge risk or speculate on price movements. They are traded on exchanges (like the CME) or over-the-counter and require specialized knowledge of pricing models and risk management.
