Bull refers to investors who are optimistic about the upward trend of the market and think that there will be a continuous rise or reversal in the market outlook, and will buy first, then sell at a low price, then sell at a high price, and earn profits in the middle; A bear market means that investors think that the market will fall in the future, and they will sell their securities and wait for the right time to buy them back. The position in futures represents a market agreement, indicating the initial position of buyers and sellers, and the expected position for future purchases; What is sold is in the expected position. The statement that long positions only appear in the futures market together does not apply to other markets.
At present, there are three commodity futures markets in China, which trade different varieties. Shanghai Futures Exchange is the only exchange managed by China Securities Regulatory Commission, which mainly trades gold, silver, rebar and copper. Zhengzhou commodity futures trade all strong gluten wheat, rapeseed oil, glass and methanol. The commodity futures exchange in Dalian is corn, soybean, palm oil and other varieties. The varieties traded in these three exchanges can be traded in multiple inches.
There are also bulls and bears in the stock market, which also means that the buyer is a bull; The seller's name is bear. The difference between futures and short positions is that stocks must be sold, and there is no stock to sell; This is not the case with futures, which can be sold without futures contracts. Because it is a two-way transaction, you can buy more and sell less.
