What stock index futures are there or what commodity futures are there? What's the difference between those kinds? Are precious metals commodity futures or stock index futures?
Stock index futures are only those of China's financial exchanges, and commodity futures are only owned by Zhengzhou Futures Exchange, Dalian Futures Exchange and Shanghai Futures Exchange in China. These three exchanges trade commodity futures, including gold, silver, copper, aluminum, soybean oil, sugar and corn. Precious metals are gold and silver, which are traded on the Shanghai Futures Exchange and belong to commodity futures, while stock index futures are index futures. Its theme is index rather than commodity. For example, Shanghai Stock Exchange Index, Shenzhen Stock Exchange Index and Agricultural Products Index can all be made into index futures.
