Will the stock index fall on the delivery date?
Not necessarily. Although the delivery of stock index will transfer some risks from stock index futures to stocks, it does not necessarily lead to a decline in the stock market. The decline and rise of the stock index are comprehensive factors. The main factors leading to the stock market decline on the delivery day are: short selling caused by selling has to be sold for delivery, which leads to the stock index decline. In addition, there are many short sellers on the delivery date, and the stock index fluctuates greatly.

What does the delivery date of stock index futures mean?

The delivery date of stock index futures refers to the last day of contract performance, usually the third Friday of the month when the contract is signed.

When investors buy and sell stock index futures, they sign contracts with others and deliver them at the agreed time and price. Generally speaking, every futures contract has a final delivery date, which is the trading day of stock index futures. In our country, this day is the third Friday of the contract month. After the expiration, the buyer and the seller must close their positions or make delivery.
