At present, there is only one kind of stock index futures in China, that is, the Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 stock index futures contract, which was officially listed and traded on April 6, 20 10.

After the emergence of stock index futures, no matter whether the index is up or down, as long as the forecast is accurate, you can make money. When investors expect the market to rise or fall, they can do reverse operations in the stock index futures market, for example, short selling stock index futures to hedge the risk of holding stocks.
