Future trading is a financial contract where two parties agree to buy or sell an asset at a specific price and date in the future. It is a way for investors to speculate on the price movement of an asset or hedge against price risk. Futures contracts are traded on exchanges, and the price of a contract is determined by supply and demand in the market. Futures trading is commonly used in commodities such as oil, gold, and agricultural products, but can also be used for financial instruments such as currency, interest rates, and stock indices. However, it is important to note that futures trading can be risky and is not suitable for all investors.
