In finance, a futures contract (more colloquially, futures) is a contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset for a price agreed upon today (the futures price) with delivery and payment occurring at a future point, the delivery date.
The futures market is comprised of a large chain of individuals and firms, each one with their own special role that facilitates the completion of buying, selling, and trading futures contracts and options.
