In this case, the ups and downs are not necessarily. Futures is the expected price of spot in the future, so in most cases, the trend of futures and spot prices is the same, but there are forward contracts and near-month contracts, which are close to the delivery date, so futures prices and spot prices are generally synchronized, and the corresponding spot-to-far-month contracts may rise or fall.

What does the rise in futures mean?

The rising price of futures contracts means that futures market participants expect the spot market price to rise in the future. The rise of futures prices will drive up the prices of related products, thus improving the performance of listed companies. If the performance of listed companies improves, they can pay more dividends to shareholders, pay more wages to workers and improve their welfare.
