This special issue focuses on the application of general large language models in derivatives markets, exploring how advanced AI systems can extract pricing and risk signals from unstructured textual data. The issue seeks research demonstrating how GLLMs can improve derivatives pricing, hedging strategies, and risk management by analyzing central bank communications, corporate narratives, and other semantic sources that traditionally influence market behavior.
The special issue welcomes empirical and theoretical contributions examining language-based volatility forecasting, sentiment-driven trading strategies, multimodal pricing approaches, and explainable AI methods for derivatives governance. It is particularly interested in work that bridges GLLM capabilities with financial applications such as nowcasting macro shocks, factor discovery, and adaptive risk management in derivatives markets.
