What does it mean to trade interest rates CFDs?
Trading interest rates CFDs means opening a short or medium-term position that makes money if rates rise (if you’re long) or fall (if you’re short). Interest rate CFD trading is based on the prices of interest rate futures, which reflect where the markets expect rates to head next.
As with any form of trading, you’ll earn a profit if the underlying market moves in your favor, and a loss if it moves against you. Many traders use interest rates as a ‘safe haven’ market to protect their portfolios against volatility.
