The majority of US bank held derivatives are interest and foreign currency based in that order and futures/forwards, swaps in that order by type. Equity nbased derivatives and options are 2-3% of the total. The net exposure of the big banks as a group is in billions rather than trillions. ie they are not significantly net buyers or sellers.

I read this stuff in some Fed report but I can't remember the link. Ask Lucretius Taurus for it.
