Exchange traded contracts used for either hedging or speculating in relation to outturn market rates on a prespecified date in the future.
Because futures contracts are exchange traded they involve standard amounts and standard expiry dates.
They also require a refundable up-front security payment (initial margin) and subsequent variation margin adjustments.
