Futures Trading
About Futures Trading
A specific commodity asset or security will be purchased or sold under a futures contract at a specified price and future date. Futures exchanges like the CME Group are where futures contracts, or simply "futures," are traded. To trade futures, a brokerage account must be approved. Typically, a commodity or financial instrument is a traded asset.
Why is Futures Trading important?
In ways that stocks and ETFs cannot, futures provide a few options to diversify your investment portfolio. In contrast to secondary market items like equities, they might provide you direct market exposure to the underlying commodities assets. Furthermore, they provide you access to particular assets that aren't frequently available in other marketplaces.
