Futures
Futures markets are worldwide exchanges for buyers and sellers of an ever expanding list of products that include financial instruments such as U.S. Treasury bonds, stock indices, and foreign exchange as well as traditional agricultural commodities, metals, and petroleum products.
Despite massive technological advances and the introduction of more sophisticated and diverse trading tools, futures markets are used for the same reasons they have been used for centuries: hedging and speculating.
By buying or selling futures contracts that establish a price now for a purchase or sale that will take place at a later time, individuals and businesses are able to achieve what amounts to insurance protection against adverse price changes (hedging) and profit from favourable price swings (speculation). The interaction of hedgers and speculators, each pursuing their own goals, helps to provide active, liquid, and competitive markets.
The low costs associated with trading futures make them an incredibly attractive vehicle for speculators keen on minimising their dealing costs in order to maximise their returns. We have clients ranging from casual long term position traders, to those scalping over 200 times per day, such are the efficiencies of trading futures.
