What are the factors that affect the futures price?

The factors that affect the futures price include supply and demand, economic cycle, government policies, social factors, seasonal factors, psychological factors, changing factors and large-scale manipulation. Futures are different from stocks limited to one company. It represents the price of a commodity in the whole market, so its influencing factors are far more than stocks, and its ups and downs mainly come from the power given by the relevant external environment.

Let's make a simple analogy, which is Apple Futures. The more demand there is for Apple in the market, the futures price will continue to rise. In addition, whether people have enough money to buy apples is determined by the economic cycle. When Apple continues to rise, the government feels it is necessary to formulate relevant policies to curb the price of Apple, so at this time, government policies are crucial.

In addition, we also need to consider whether the continuous rise of apple prices is caused by hoarding by large households in society, whether it is caused by seasonality, whether it is caused by changes in the environment of related commodities, and whether large households manipulate futures prices. Of course, we should also consider the manipulation of social speculative funds, because of the continuous rise of Apple futures.

To sum up, we can basically see that futures prices are affected by many factors, whether it is commodity futures or other futures.
