1. The futures price refers to the price of the subject matter of the futures contract formed by public bidding in the futures market. Futures price refers to the price agreed by the buyer and the seller for delivery on a certain date after the transaction is confirmed. Futures trading is a way of forward delivery (3 months, 6 months, 1 year, etc.). ) according to the time, place and quantity specified in the contract. Its biggest feature is that trading and delivery are not synchronized, but delivered after a certain period of trading. 1898 the establishment of the Chicago butter and egg chamber of commerce marks the birth of futures trading. At that time, the commodities traded in futures were basically agricultural products. Later, the Chamber of Commerce changed its name to Chicago Mercantile Exchange. There are more and more commodities traded in futures, and financial products such as stocks, bonds and foreign exchange in some countries have also joined the ranks of futures trading. When prices tend to rise, futures prices are higher than spot prices. In the downward trend, the futures price is lower than the spot price. In general, the futures price is usually higher than the spot price, because the cost of warehousing, insurance and interest is higher.
2. Because futures fluctuate greatly, there are many risks, including the following: leverage risk: futures have the function of amplifying investment leverage. If the leverage is enlarged, it will also amplify the risks and rewards. Forced liquidation or short position: the liability system will not be implemented on the day of futures trading. If the available funds in the account are insufficient, the position may be closed forcibly, and improper operation may lead to the risk of position rupture. Delivery risk: only the first investor is allowed to participate in the delivery in the futures market, and individual retail investors are not allowed to participate in the delivery. They must close their positions before the specified time in order to deliver the goods in advance. In addition, for institutional investors who are unwilling to participate in the delivery, if they hold it until the delivery date, it means that they must take out enough funds for delivery.
