What is the difference between stock index futures and interest rate futures?
Futures can be roughly divided into two categories, commodity futures and financial futures. The main varieties of commodity futures can be divided into three categories: agricultural products (market forum) futures, metal futures (including base metals and precious metals futures) and energy futures; The main varieties of financial futures can be divided into foreign exchange futures, interest rate futures (including medium and long-term bond futures and short-term interest rate futures) and stock index futures. The so-called stock index futures are futures with the stock index as the subject matter. After a certain period of time, the two parties trade the price level of the stock index and make delivery by cash settlement of the price difference.

The so-called interest rate futures refer to futures contracts with bond securities as the subject matter, which can avoid the risk of securities price changes caused by bank interest rate fluctuations. There are many kinds of interest rate futures, and there are also many classification methods. Generally speaking, interest rate futures can be divided into short-term interest rate futures and long-term interest rate futures according to the term of the subject matter of the contract.
