The so-called futures generally refers to futures contracts, which are standardized contracts made by futures exchanges and agreed to deliver a certain number of subject matter at a specific time and place in the future. This subject matter, also known as the underlying asset, can be a commodity, such as copper or crude oil, a financial instrument, such as foreign exchange and bonds, or a financial indicator, such as three-month interbank offered rate or stock index. If the buyer of a futures contract holds the contract until the expiration date, he is obliged to purchase the subject matter corresponding to the futures contract; The seller of a futures contract is obliged to sell the subject matter corresponding to the futures contract if he holds the contract until the expiration date. Of course, traders of futures contracts can also choose to reverse the transaction before the contract expires to offset this obligation.
