The futures market is a trading place or field that trades according to the agreement reached and delivers on the scheduled date. The obvious difference between spot and futures is that the delivery date of futures is in the future, and the conditions of delivery and payment, such as price, quantity, method and place, are stipulated in the spot contract, and both commodities and securities can be traded in the futures market.
Although the contract has been signed, the goods bought and sold by both parties may be in transit, may be in production, and may not even be put into production. The seller may or may not have goods or securities.

Since 20 1 1, the CSRC has organized futures exchanges to conduct in-depth research on extending trading hours, and plans to select gold and silver futures with relatively high degree of internationalization to carry out continuous trading pilot projects. In the previous period, it was suggested that 265438+ be used as the continuous trading time from 0:00 every Monday to Friday to 2:30 the next morning.
