Futures Trading
A futures market, or futures exchange, is where people can trade futures contracts. Futures contracts involve two parties agreeing to buy or sell a particular commodity on a set date. These contracts are always standardised, and in many cases, the contracts are sold between market speculators hoping to make a profit on fluctuating market prices.
Futures markets allow firms and counterparties to reduce risk and facilitate the actual trading of goods. Speculators, financial institutions and various other investors provide a large liquidity pool in the futures market that also helps firms manage prices and other market risks.
