Futures Markets

The product market is one of the most unpredictable modalities of the financial market. If well the necessity to palliate the risks that agricultural products suffered, the product market has evolved in such a way that it now includes precious metals and even financial tools such as treasury bonds and futures contracts over stock exchange indexes.

The product mediator agents buy and sell futures contracts: resolutions to deliver or to receive a determined product at a determined date and price.

You can negotiate in products just by disposing of a small sum of money (generally the requirement is of a 5% as a guarantee deposit); this financial leverage constitutes an attraction for those people that work with this kind of negotiations.

But the leverage is a double edge weapon that can increase the losses as much as the profits. In the contracting of products, as with that of the options, you can win or loose a fortune in a question of minutes.

The method of executing the orders and the function of the professional personnel are very similar to that of other markets, with the exception that in the future markets there are no specialist companies.

Another difference is: the product market has an artificial maximum top denominated s “limit”, which is the maximum daily variation of the price. The limit is simply the maximum percentage in which the price is permitted to vary with respect to a determined product within a day.
