What are futures?
Futures are a tradable contract that serves as an agreement by one party to take delivery of an asset at a date sometime in the future. By trading futures via spread bets and CFDs, you have the option to settle the contract in cash at maturity or to roll over the contract to the next delivery date. This is especially useful when trading commodity futures. Futures are considered better for longer held positions, as although they have wider spreads, you won’t pay any overnight funding charges.
While futures trading is most commonly done in the commodities market to speculate on the price of physical goods without needing to take physical ownership of the assets, you can also use futures to trade indices, individual stocks, government bonds, ETFs and major and minor forex pairs.
