CME will launch two new SONIA futures: a Quarterly IMM SONIA contract observing the recommended specifications of the Working Group on Sterling Risk Free Reference Rate; and an innovative MPC SONIA contract based on the meeting dates of the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to provide greater precision in hedging between the dates of Central Bank policy meetings.
