In finance, a futures contract is a standardized contract, traded on a futures exchange, to buy or sell a certain underlying instrument at a certain date in the future, at a specified price

The future date is called the delivery date or final settlement date

The pre-set price is called the futures price

The price of the underlying asset on the delivery date is called the settlement price

gives the holder the obligation to buy or sell, which differs from an options contract, which gives the holder the right, but not the obligation

List of Futures Contracts

Some exchanges tolerate 'nonconvergence', the failure of futures contracts and the value of the physical commodities they represent to reach the same value on 'contract settlement' day at the designated delivery points

To minimize credit risk to the exchange, traders must post a margin or a performance bond, typically 5%-15% of the contract's value

Settlement is the act of consummating the contract, and can be done in one of two ways, as specified per type of futures contract

The situation where the price of a commodity for future delivery is higher than the spot price, or where a far future delivery price is higher than a nearer future delivery, is known as contango

Futures traders are traditionally placed in one of two groups: hedgers, who have an interest in the underlying commodity and are seeking to hedge out the risk of price changes

In many cases, options are traded on futures

All futures transactions in the United States are regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), an independent agency of the United States Government
