Are futures short or buy?

Short futures refers to selling, in which "empty" refers to bearish. Under normal circumstances, shorting is selling. Once investors expect prices to fall, they can choose to sell. Simply put, shorting futures means not optimistic about future commodity futures prices and thinking that they will fall, so they sell futures contracts.

Going long and shorting are the skills of investing in futures. Shorting is bearish, and shorting is selling. In fact, it is not essential to be long or short, but only for the market. If investors look in the wrong direction, it is a loss; If investors look in the right direction, then it is profitable.

Futures trading is a standard contract for commodities, not the commodities themselves, because futures implement a margin mechanism. Short selling refers to the expectation that the market will fall in the future, selling the standard contract at the price in hand, and then buying it after the market falls to obtain the difference profit.

Generally speaking, short selling refers to the act of selling commodity contracts directly in the case of expected commodity prices falling. The essence of futures is to sign contracts with others to buy and sell goods, so as to achieve the purpose of preserving value or making money.
