What is the difference between spot gold margin and gold futures?
There are five differences: 1, the delivery time is different. Spot gold is a spot contract and can be applied for delivery after the transaction, while gold is a forward contract and needs to be delivered in a certain delivery month. 2. The trading time is different. Spot gold is a 24-hour continuous trading system, while gold futures have a fixed time limit. Domestic gold futures trading time is limited to 9: 00- 1 1: 00, 13: 00- 15: 00. 3. The income is different. The profit of gold spot is greater than that of gold futures, because the leverage ratio of spot is 12.5, while the leverage ratio of futures is only about 10, which means that the same dollar may earn 12.5 yuan in the spot market and only 10 yuan in the futures market. 4. The risks are different. Spot gold is less risky than gold futures. The reason is that the spot trades 24 hours a day, and the position can be closed at any time to lock in the profit and loss. However, due to the limitation of trading time, there is a huge gap between the closing price of gold futures and the opening price of the next day, and the risk has undoubtedly increased a lot. This chart can be well reflected. 5. The market is different. Gold spot is the external market, governments and central banks around the world. Institutions and so on are all trading in it, the information is completely transparent, the transaction volume is huge, there is no possibility of controlling the village, and it depends entirely on the ability of investors to obtain income. The futures market is an internal market with insufficient trading volume. In addition, the government's many restrictions on the futures market have increased the possibility of inside information and provided an opportunity for bookmakers.
