The Futures Market is a financial marketplace where participants can buy and sell contracts for the future delivery of various assets, such as commodities, currencies, or financial instruments. These contracts, known as futures contracts, obligate the buyer to purchase, and the seller to sell, the underlying asset at a predetermined price at a specified future date.

Participants in the market include hedgers, who seek to manage their exposure to price risks, and speculators, who aim to profit from price movements. The futures market plays a crucial role in the global economy by facilitating risk management and providing liquidity.
