Is futures a derivative?
Foreign financial websites classify commodity futures as commodities, which are the four basic assets alongside stocks, bonds and currencies.

Financial index futures are derivatives, and derivatives, as the name implies, are financial instruments derived from other first-class assets.

Therefore, whether futures are derivatives cannot be generalized. Commodity futures are not derivatives, while financial futures such as stock indexes are derivatives.
