Both stocks and futures are financial products, and the threshold is not high, so many investors will invest in stocks and futures, and some investors will invest in stocks and futures at the same time, thinking that if futures fall, stocks will also fall. So is this really the case?

Will futures fall and stocks fall?

Although futures and stocks are both investments, they are totally different. For example, if the price of vegetables drops, will the water fee drop? That's impossible. Therefore, when futures fall, stocks may not necessarily fall unless the general environment is not good. Of course, when futures fall, sometimes stocks will rise, or when futures rise, stocks will fall. All this requires investors to make judgments based on the overall environment and market conditions. Of course, the most direct reason is that the stock market can be manipulated. If the futures fall, the trader can manipulate the stock to rise if he wants.

The investment focus of stocks and futures is different. The price of stocks is based on the performance of listed companies. If the performance is good, the stock price will naturally be high, and investors will gain a lot from investing in stocks. So investing in stocks means investing in the past and future of a listed company. Futures are investments in commodities such as copper. According to the current copper mining, smelting, mineral resources and demand, we can calculate the fluctuation of copper prices in the next month or even a year, so investing in futures means investing in the present and the future.

In addition, investing in stocks and futures is speculative, and more people want to buy low and sell high, but futures can be long or short, but stocks can only be long, and the only thing that can be short is margin financing and securities lending, but there is a certain threshold for opening margin financing and securities lending, and ordinary individual investors rarely do margin financing and securities lending.
