The development of the economy cannot proceed without the presence of derivatives markets. Derivatives markets feature risk management approaches. The value of a marketplace can be derived from an underlying asset through the use of what are known as derivative markets. On the market for derivatives, there are three types of participants: hedgers, speculators, and arbitragers. Speculators are individuals who try to make a profit by making risky bets. Financing derivatives are the instruments that are utilized most frequently in the financial sector. Hedging is the most important purpose that derivatives serve. Utilizing the futures or options markets in hedging helps to reduce overall market risk, The market for derivatives is expanding at a quicker rate in India than it is everywhere in the world. There are two types of marketplaces for derivatives: regulated exchanges and over-the-counter markets (OTC). The four most common kinds of derivative contracts are known as forwards, futures, options, and swaps respectively. The use of leverage, which is common in financial instruments such as derivatives, enhances the potential for both risk and return. In recent years, derivatives markets have become increasingly significant as a direct result of the important role they play in the expansion of the economy.
