The key to your answer to this question is: you think it will reduce the price, but some people think it will increase the price. You sell to people who buy contracts because they think the price will go up. I guess you have the goods. This will happen in a certain area or a certain group of people in the inventory. Everyone thinks that they will fall behind and want to sell goods or think that they will rise and want to buy goods. This is the information asymmetry. Futures are different. Futures is the whole market, the whole country and even the whole world. Such a wide range of participants will form almost the same bullish and bearish price situation in the later stage, which can solve your counterparty problem in a deeper level. This is one of them; The second is that since you say that the price is 5 yuan, then 5 yuan is already the existing price, which is the price agreed by both buyers and sellers, otherwise this price does not exist; In that case, if you sell it for 5 yuan, you will definitely find someone who is willing to buy it for 5 yuan. There may sometimes be a situation where there is no market in the spot-you can't find a counterparty because the real trading circle is limited, but this situation does not exist in the futures market, because the first reason is understandable, right?
