Futures Trading
Finance and Accounting
Futures trading involves buying or selling standardized contracts obligating the exchange of an asset — such as oil, gold, stock indices, or currencies — at a set price on a future date, traded on exchanges like the CME. Traders, hedge funds, and commodity producers use futures to speculate on price movements or hedge against price risk in their underlying business. It typically involves leverage, meaning traders can control large positions with a relatively small margin deposit, which amplifies both potential gains and losses.
