It is an agreement to buy or sell a standard quantity of a commodity or a security - such as gold, $US or bank bills of exchange - on a specific future date at an agreed price determined at the time the contract is traded on the futures exchange.
It is a binding contract, enforceable at law. Futures contracts are traded by open outcry on the floors of most futures exchanges, although the computer age has seen the spread of screen trading.
