What investment is futures?
Futures belongs to financial investment, which endows bulk products with financial attributes, but price fluctuation is closely related to spot supply and demand. Because of its margin mechanism, two-way trading and delivery system, futures prices are basically equivalent to local spot prices. For the sellers and demanders of commodities, futures have the function of avoiding risks. However, it is a speculative behavior for individual investors to use the price fluctuation of futures to obtain the spread income.
