Futures👌 trading began in the 17th century in Japan with rice contracts. Modern futures markets emerged in 1848 with the Chicago Board of Trade (CBOT), standardizing grain contracts. Over time, futures expanded to include commodities, currencies, and financial instruments. With the rise of electronic trading in the late 20th century, global access grew. Today, futures are widely used for hedging, speculation, and portfolio diversification in markets worldwide.👌🎁👉
