The background of China futures market is the reform of grain circulation system. With the cancellation of the policy of unified purchase and marketing of agricultural products and the liberalization of most agricultural products prices, the market is playing an increasingly important role in regulating the production, circulation and consumption of agricultural products. The ups and downs of agricultural products prices, the undisclosed and distorted spot prices, the ups and downs of agricultural production, and the lack of value-preserving mechanism of grain enterprises have attracted the attention of leaders and scholars. Whether we can establish a mechanism that can not only provide price signals to guide future production and business activities, but also prevent market risks caused by price fluctuations has become the focus of attention. 1February, 988, the leaders of the State Council instructed relevant departments to study the foreign futures market system and solve the problem of domestic agricultural product price fluctuation. 1In March, 1988, the government work report of the First Session of the Seventh National People's Congress put forward: actively develop all kinds of wholesale trade markets and explore futures trading, which opened the prelude to the research and construction of China's futures market.
Initial margin is the money that traders need to pay when they open new positions. According to the transaction amount and the margin ratio, that is, initial margin = transaction amount * adjusted margin ratio. At present, the minimum margin ratio in China is 5% of the transaction amount, which is generally between 3% and 8% internationally. For example, the soybean margin ratio of Dalian Commodity Exchange is 5%. When a customer buys five soybean futures contracts (each 10 ton) at a price of 2,700 yuan/ton, he needs to pay an initial deposit of 6 750 yuan to the exchange (that is, 2,700× 5×10× 5%). In the process of holding positions, traders will have floating profits and losses (the difference between settlement price and transaction price) due to the constant changes of market conditions, so the funds actually available in the margin account can be increased or decreased at any time. Floating profit will increase the balance of margin account, while floating loss will decrease the balance of margin account. The minimum balance that must be kept in the margin account is called maintenance margin. Maintenance margin: the settlement price is adjusted to the position, and the margin ratio is adjusted to xk(k is a constant, which is called the maintenance margin ratio, which is usually 0.75 in China).
Leverage principle is the charm of futures investment. Futures market transactions do not need to pay all the funds, and domestic futures transactions only need to pay 5% margin to obtain future trading rights. Due to the use of margin, the original market has been enlarged ten times. Assuming that the daily limit of copper price closes on a certain day (the daily limit in futures is only 3% of the settlement price of the previous trading day), the operation is correct. The return on capital is as high as 60%(3%÷5%), which is six times the daily limit of the stock market.
