What is the difference between a Eurodollar futures contract and a T-bill futures contract?
And why does a long Eurodollar futures contract increase in value if interest rates fall?
Different benchmarks… interest rates fall = bond price rises… therefore a futures contract on a bond will increase in price
Eurodollars = LIBOR TBill = Tbills Both are discount instruments (aka zeros) so they are extremely sensitive to movements in interest rates. Typical bond/interest rate relationship.
