What are the types of futures?

Post by Festus »

The popular futures can be commodity futures, currency futures, interest rate futures, stock index futures, and energy futures. Each one allows you to speculate the price changes occurring in the future market.

Futures are used for hedging risks and this means that futures are common in many industries.

Yes, you are absolutely right! I know a couple of traders dealing with forex trading that are very fond of currency futures.
