Why Trade Futures?
As Futures are leveraged, investors can trade larger contracts at just the fraction of the cost, making it a cost-efficient instrument. For example, you can buy 1 lot of MSCI Singapore Stock Index Futures, valued at $30,000, at an initial margin of only $2,090. Futures trading also offers opportunities in both rising and falling markets and offer excellent liquidity for popular contracts ranging from global stock indices, energy, commodities, currencies and interest rates.
