1. Silver futures refer to futures contracts with the silver price as the subject matter at a certain point in the future. Silver futures contracts are standardized futures contracts, which are formulated by the corresponding futures exchanges. The detailed silver specifications, silver quality and delivery date are clearly stipulated above. Domestic silver futures were listed on Shanghai Futures Exchange on May 12. Thus ending the history that China, as a big producer and consumer of silver, has no right to speak on price for a long time.
