The futures index is also a standardized futures contract with the stock price index as the subject matter, which can directly reflect everyone's views on the rise and fall of the market outlook index. In other words, the rise in the futures index means that many parties are stronger than the empty side, and everyone is more optimistic about the rise in the market outlook. There is no inevitable direct relationship between the rise and fall of the two, but it is often found in the firm offer that the futures index and the stock index often rise and fall together, because the stock market is a market related to popularity. Once the futures index rises, it means that everyone is more optimistic about the market outlook, so the number of people willing to follow up will increase and the corresponding stock index will also rise. For example, on the Dayang line of the stock index on September 7, a very important factor was that the futures index rose sharply within 15 minutes after the stock index closed the day before (15 minutes before the stock index opened and 15 minutes after the stock index closed), which greatly mobilized the market's long confidence. It can be seen that the rise and fall of the futures index indicates the development of the stock index in the market outlook to a certain extent, and it is the vane of everyone's views on the market outlook.

Now answer the second question, I think so. Institutions can completely short the stock market through securities lending, but there are two points to note here. First of all, because the securities lending business has just started, the amount of securities lending is greatly limited, which means that the motivation for shorting is limited. Second, not every stock can be short. Stocks with short targets can be short. You can check which stocks are short. At present, most securities companies have few stocks that can be shorted by securities lending. China's stock market is not as perfect as that of the United States, and the United States can short it at will, or even short it (that is, it doesn't need securities lending, nothing, and short it directly for profit). So you don't have to worry about losing money because the institutions are short-selling, just avoid those stocks with securities lending targets! All original hand-made, hope to adopt!
