Futures inner disk and outer disk are two important concepts. Inner market refers to the commodity futures contracts traded in China, also known as the inner market of the exchange. Outer market refers to commodity futures contracts traded abroad, also called OTC. There is usually a certain degree of difference between the prices of the inner disk and the outer disk, which is caused by various factors such as different regions, policies and economic conditions. Traders decide their trading strategy by observing the price difference between the inner disk and the outer disk

The fluctuation of futures prices inside and outside the market will also affect the market trend. When the price of the outer disk rises, the price of the inner disk often rises. On the contrary, the price of the outer disk falls, and the price of the inner disk often falls simultaneously. This interaction is also called arbitrage opportunity between the inner disk and the outer disk. By grasping these opportunities, traders can make use of the price differences in different markets to make profits.

Please note that the trading hours of external exchanges may be different from those of internal exchanges. For example, the trading hours of China Futures Exchange are from 9 am to 165438+ 0: 30 pm. On the other hand, the trading hours of CME in the United States are night trading and early trading, which is completely different from the China market. This also means that traders need to know and master the trading hours in different markets in order to keep abreast of price fluctuations and market changes.
