← Options Glossary A type of derivative, futures contracts require buyers and sellers to trade an asset at a specified price on a predetermined future date. The two participating parties agree to buy and sell an asset for a price agreed on today (forward price), with delivery and payment occurring on a specified future date (delivery date). Futures contracts are standardized for trading on futures exchanges, and typically involve physical commodities or financial instruments. Some futures call for physical delivery of the underlying asset, while others are cash settled. Click here to learn more.
