What are Futures?
World indices are indicators of price changes for a certain group of securities. The stock exchange index can be explained as a “basket” of shares united by a common basis. Trading indices can be compared to opening positions on the courses of several dozen stocks at once.
Futures are financial contracts for the specific asset to be bought or sold at a set time in the future. The final price level is determined by both parties, a buyer and a seller, and is known as the forward price. The specified date of the future payment is known as the expiration date.
Contract for difference (CFD) on futures allow for trade on the price fluctuations of a wide range of assets: commodities, indices and energy. If investors make a forecast about the quotes increase, they open a Buy position on the trading platform. If they think the chart will move down, they make an online order to Sell.
