1. Gold futures refer to futures contracts with the gold price in the international gold market as the transaction target at a certain time in the future. The profit and loss of investors buying and selling gold futures is measured by the price difference between when they enter the market and when they leave. After the contract expires, they will deliver it in kind.

2. Gold futures, like other general futures commodities, adopt the original margin trading system and will be adjusted with the changes of market conditions, which can be divided into gold futures and mini gold futures; The contract specifications of gold futures are larger, and the requirements for initial margin are higher than those of mini gold futures. Take the gold futures of NYMEX in June 5438+ 10, 2004 as an example. The original deposit was $2,025, which translated into NT$ 67,000.
