Futures

What are Futures?

A Futures contract is essentially a contract between a buyer and seller of a product for an agreed price at a future date. Products that are commonly traded as a Futures contract includes products like crude oil, precious metals, grains, currencies, stock indices and more.

 

 

Why should you trade Futures?

  • Futures contracts are leveraged. Investors can trade large contracts at just the fraction of the cost, making it a cost-efficient instrument
    e.g. You buy 1 lot of MSCI Singapore Stock Index Futures valued at $75,000. Your initial margin required is only $2,200.
  • Profits are multiplied if the market moves in your favour. However if the market moves against your position, your losses may also be magnified 
  • Trading opportunities in both rising and falling markets
  • Excellent liquidity for popular Futures contracts
  • Versatile tool for hedging your investment portfolio
  • Tap global opportunities with over 150 contracts to trade from
