| .png) A futures contract is a type of derivative or financial contract, in which two parties agree to transact a financial instrument or physical commodity for future delivery at a particular price. But participating in the futures market does not necessarily mean that you will be responsible for receiving or delivering large inventories of physical commodities - buyers and sellers in the futures market primarily enter into futures contracts to hedge risk or speculate.
Futures contracts mostly trade at the Chicago Mercantile Exchange or CME, a U.S. government-regulated marketplace. Futures trade on the CME trading floor as well as on CME's electronic trading platform or Globex to provide customers with efficient, fluid access to pricing pools.
CME participants include individual investors, large banks, hedge funds and multinational corporations. All of these players come together at CME to speculate and hedge on currency and commodity market fluctuations.
Beirut Brokerage Corporation BBCorp S.A.L offers direct access to the CME marketplace, by telephone or via our internet trading platform, and delivers efficient, transparent trading venues for rapid trade execution supported and monitored by experienced professionals. Customers benefit from liquid markets, efficient clearing services, and 24-hour-a-day broker/advisor support.
