Overseas futures refer to futures trading on exchanges outside Chinese mainland, such as MATIF French International Futures Options Exchange, KCBT Kansas Futures Exchange, CBOT Chicago Futures Exchange and SFE Sydney Futures Exchange.

What are the advantages of external futures?

First of all, the trading time of external futures is long, and the price changes too much in 15 minutes before settlement, which is a good thing for investors with less investment funds. Internal futures, short trading time. In order to ensure the safety of funds and avoid the risk of fund jumping, many investors closed their positions 15 minutes before the end of the transaction, resulting in drastic price changes. If the investor is a long-term trader, this kind of transaction will be a good thing. Moreover, harmless investors are short-term traders with small amount of funds, and it is very likely that the deposit will be recovered. Investors must invest more money, or they will cut their positions.

Secondly, the external futures market has developed for a long time, and many financial institutions use the futures market as a hedge. For example, in the 1980s, insurance companies in the United States raised funds by manufacturing futures crops, while insurance companies in China only had one pilot project in 20 15 and three pilots in 20 18. Immature domestic futures investment will easily lead to irregular and random changes in futures. The foreign futures market has developed for a long time.

Of course, domestic futures are also slowly developing and transforming. Its main investors have shifted from individual retail investors and large individual investors to institutional investment. However, the road to transformation is still long, and it will take at least 10 years. In the past ten years, we can avoid the harm brought by the transformation to investors by investing in external futures. However, whether investing in the internal market or the external market, investors must manage their own funds well.
