Futures markets have been described as
continuous auction markets and as clearing
houses for the latest information about supply
and demand. They are the meeting places of
buyers and sellers of an ever-expanding list of
commodities that today includes agricultural
products, metals, petroleum, financial
instruments, foreign currencies and stock
indexes. Trading has also been initiated in
options on futures contracts, enabling option
buyers to participate in futures markets with
known risks.
Notwithstanding the rapid growth and
diversification of futures markets, their
primary purpose remains the same as it has been
for nearly a century and a half, to provide an
efficient and effective mechanism for the
management of price risks. By buying or selling
futures contracts--contracts that establish a
price level now for items to be delivered
later--individuals and businesses seek to
achieve what amounts to insurance against
adverse price changes. This is called hedging.
Volume has increased from 14 million futures
contracts traded in 1970 to 179 million futures
and options on futures contracts traded in 1985.
