	Futures contract: contract future interest rate, commodity contract future, contract future hedging
		Trading on commodities began in Japan in the 18th century with the trading of rice and silk, and similarly in Holland with tulip bulbs.
		Trading in the US began in the mid 19th century, when central grain markets were established and a marketplace was created for farmers to bring their commodities and sell them either for immediate delivery (also called spot or cash market) or for forward delivery.
		The social utility of futures markets is considered to be mainly in the transfer of risk, and increase liquidity between traders with different risk and time preferences, from a hedger to a speculator for example.

	Futures contract
		This can be a fixed number of: barrels of oil; lengths of random lumber; units of weight (bushels of wheat, ounces of bullion &c); units of foreign currency; interest rate points; Equity index points; Notional bonds; the unit of currency in which the asset is quoted.
		Because they vary in price as a direct function of these variables only, a futures contract is an example of a parametric contract[?], and is easily combined or traded as part of more complex financial derivatives[?] deals.
		Originally, futures were traded only on commodities, in a market dominated by Chicago.
