Stock index futures refer to financial futures contracts with stock price index as the subject matter. In specific transactions, the value of stock index futures contracts is calculated by multiplying the index points by the unit amount specified in advance. For example, the Standard & Poor's Index stipulates that each point represents US$ 250, and the Hang Seng Index in Hong Kong is HK$ 50. Generally, March, June, September and 65438+February are the cycle months of stock index contract trading, and some of them are traded every month of the year. The settlement is usually based on the closing index of the last trading day.

The essence of stock index futures trading is a process in which investors transfer their expected risk of the whole stock market price index to the futures market, and the risk is offset by the trading operations of investors who have different judgments on the stock market trend.

There are no real stocks on both sides, only stock index futures contracts can be bought and sold at any time.
