Spot and futures In most cases, futures and spot prices rise and fall together, and futures are spot forward prices, that is, a price expectation. However, futures contracts may be speculated in the futures market. The different investor structures in the futures market and the spot market will lead to different futures and spot prices.
Spot reflects the current supply and demand price, while futures reflect the future price. Futures contracts include forward contracts and recent contracts. Generally speaking, the futures price of recent contracts is synchronized with the spot price. The spot corresponding to forward futures may rise or fall.
