Mark-to-market profit and loss is one of the concepts of futures trading settlement, and the futures settlement system is "daily debt-free settlement system", also known as "daily mark-to-market system". That is, after the end of each trading day, all customers' positions are settled according to the settlement price, which is included in the profit and set aside the loss.
The occurrence period of profit and loss is different. Closing gains and losses will be generated when hedging is closed. The final profit and loss result of investors is the daily mark-to-market profit and loss of daily settlement, not the final profit and loss.
The stock market is the place where issued stocks are transferred, traded and circulated, including exchange market and OTC market. Because it is based on the distribution market, it is also called the secondary market. The structure and trading activities of the stock market are more complicated than the issuance market (primary market), and its role and influence are also greater.
The stock market originated from 1602 when the Dutch bought and sold the shares of the Dutch East India Company on the Amster River Bridge. The formal stock market first appeared in the United States. The stock market is a place where speculators and investors are active, and it is a thermometer of economic and financial activities of a country or region. Bad phenomena in the stock market, such as short selling of goods, will lead to various hazards such as the stock market crash. The only constant thing about the stock market is that it keeps changing. There are two trading markets in Chinese mainland: Shanghai Stock Exchange and Shenzhen Stock Exchange.
The stock circulation market includes all activities of stock circulation. The existence and development of the stock circulation market has created a good financing environment for stock issuers, and investors can buy and sell stocks at any time according to their own investment plans and market changes. Because investors' worries have been relieved, they can participate in the subscription activities of the stock issuance market with confidence, which is conducive to the company to raise long-term funds, smooth stock circulation and positive promotion of stock issuance. For investors, through the activities of the stock circulation market, they can make short-term and long-term investments, and stocks can be converted between cash and stocks at any time to enhance the liquidity and security of stocks. The price in the stock circulation market is a barometer of economic trends, which can sensitively reflect the changes of capital supply and demand, market supply and demand, industry prospects and political situation, and is an important index for forecasting and analysis. For enterprises, the transfer of equity and the fluctuation of the stock market are indicators of their operating conditions, and they can also provide enterprises with a lot of information in time, which is conducive to the improvement of their business decisions and management. It can be seen that the stock circulation market plays an important role.
