Gold futures refers to gold futures, which is a futures contract based on the gold price in the international gold market at a certain moment in the future. The profit and loss of investors buying and selling gold futures is measured by the difference between entry and exit, which is the physical delivery after the contract expires.

Gold futures are futures, just as stock investment needs to open an account in a securities company, so gold futures trading also needs to go to a futures company to handle futures accounts.

First of all, gold futures trading adopts a long-short two-way trading mechanism.

Secondly, gold futures trading meets the national standard GB/T4 134-2003, and the gold content is not less than 99.95%. In 2008, the Shanghai Stock Exchange stipulated that gold futures should be per lot1000g.

Thirdly, unlike T+ 1 trading in stock investment, gold futures are T+0 trading, that is, they can be sold on the day of purchase.
