The Derivatives Markets industry is a dynamic and integral part of the global financial system, offering a variety of financial instruments that derive their value from underlying assets such as stocks, bonds, commodities, currencies, interest rates, and market indices. The history of derivatives can be traced back to ancient civilizations, but the modern derivatives market saw significant development in the 1970s with the introduction of financial futures and options. Key milestones include the establishment of the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) in 1973 and the creation of the International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) in 1985, which brought standardization and regulatory oversight to the industry.
