Frequently Asked Questions

What is a contract rate?

A contract rate is the price at which a futures contract is traded. Futures contracts are agreements to buy or sell an asset at a specific price on a future date.

How are contract rates determined?

Contract rates are determined by the forces of supply and demand. When there is more demand for a contract, the price will go up. When there is less demand for a contract, the price will go down.

What are the different types of contract rates?

There are two main types of contract rates: spot rates and futures rates. Spot rates are the prices at which contracts are traded immediately. Futures rates are the prices at which contracts are traded for delivery at a future date.

How can I use contract rates to my advantage?

You can use contract rates to take advantage of price movements in the market. For example, if you believe that the price of a particular asset will rise in the future, you can buy a futures contract for that asset at the current spot rate. If the price of the asset does rise, you can then sell the contract for a profit.
