In finance, a futures contract is a standardized contract between two parties to buy or sell a specified asset (eg.oranges, oil, gold) of standardized quantity and quality at a specified future date at a price agreed today (the futures price). The contracts are traded on a futures exchange. Futures contracts are not "direct" securities like stocks, bonds, rights or warrants. They are still securities, however, though they are a type of derivative contract. The party agreeing to buy the underlying asset in the future assumes a long position, and the party agreeing to sell the asset in the future assumes a short position.
The price is determined by the instantaneous equilibrium between the forces of supply and demand among competing buy and sell orders on the exchange at the time of the purchase or sale of the contract.
In many cases, the underlying asset to a futures contract may not be traditional "commodities" at all – that is, for financial futures, the underlying asset or item can becurrencies, securities or financial instruments and intangible assets or referenced items such as stock indexes and interest rates.
The future date is called the delivery date or final settlement date. The official price of the futures contract at the end of a day's trading session on the exchange is called thesettlement price for that day of business on the exchange[1].
