⚙️ How Futures Work
-
A buyer agrees to purchase an asset at a future date for a fixed price.
-
A seller agrees to deliver the asset at that price and date.
-
The exchange acts as a counterparty, reducing credit risk.
-
Traders maintain a margin account and settle gains/losses daily.
-
Contracts can be closed out before maturity by entering an opposite position.
📊 Uses of Futures
| Use Case | Description |
|---|---|
| 🛢️ Commodity Producers | Lock in prices to stabilize revenues (e.g., farmers, oil producers). |
| 💼 Investors/Speculators | Profit from price changes without owning the physical asset. |
| 🏦 Financial Institutions | Manage exposure to interest rates, currencies, or equity indices. |
