Comparative Analysis of Futures Differences Between China and America

Abstract

It is an interesting question why futures trading in China is not as popular as futures trading in the United States. The futures market is the product of the development of the market economy and also constitutes an important part of the modern market economy system. There are many differences between Chinese and American futures. This paper compares the origin and cultural differences of futures between the East and the West, the different nature and trading mechanisms of Chinese and American futures, and the different regulatory structures of Chinese and American futures. Points out the shortcomings of the Chinese futures market compared with the American futures market, and gives suggestions on the direction of development in the Chinese future market. Compared with the US futures market, China's futures market was established more than 100 years later, and the trading mechanism, market supervision, and laws and regulations need to be improved. We should learn from the advantages of the US futures market in different aspects, promote the effective allocation of resources, and further integrate into the international market.
