What is Futures Trading?



Futures trading is a way to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price on a specific future date. These contracts are commonly used for commodities like oil, gold, or agricultural products—but they’re also used for financial assets like stock indexes or cryptocurrencies.

Traders use futures to hedge against price movements or to speculate and potentially profit from market swings. It's a high-risk, high-reward environment that requires a solid understanding of markets and strategy.

Whether you're looking to lock in prices or capitalize on volatility, futures trading offers a dynamic way to engage with global markets.
