Financial future, futures contract, futures chain, futures option, futures transaction, E-mini futures, and underlying futures contract terms.
Futures Contracts and Exchange-Traded Futures is the financial-instruments landing page for futures contracts, forward contracts, index futures, rate futures, currency futures, commodity futures, delivery, carry, contango, roll yield, and forward pricing. It keeps related terms in one branch so readers can move from a broad instrument question to the article that owns the contract evidence.
Use this page when a futures or forward contract changes future delivery, settlement, hedge exposure, or pricing basis. Use the parent Futures, Forwards, and Contracts page when you need the broader instrument map. For an individual decision, confirm the contract, term sheet, prospectus, confirmation, exchange specification, or disclosure record before relying on the term.
