How Does the Futures Market Work? The futures market is a global marketplace that is constantly operating 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days per year. The market continuously thrives, with an equal amount of supply and demand, and an expanding selection of futures brokers and available investments. With the proper training, investing in the futures market can be extremely profitable and enjoyable.
One feature of futures trading is the ability to conduct transactions at almost any time of day. Commodity and futures markets are closed on weekends, but most futures contracts start trading on Sunday afternoon to start the week. Futures cover a wide range of asset classes, from agricultural commodities to energy products to stocks, and different commodities or financial products will keep different trading hours.
