Energy futures are derivative contracts with energy products as the underlying asset. Market participants can buy and sell energy commodities through energy futures at a predetermined future price and date.
The most popular types of energy futures are based on commodities like crude oil, natural gas, and electricity. Supply and demand are a prominent component of their price. However, unlike other commodities, they are more sensitive to geopolitical events.
Energy futures allow investors to speculate or ensure an efficient hedge against price fluctuations or external risks that may affect the underlying commodity. For example, an investment firm with a significant portfolio of oil and gas stocks would make sure to hedge its exposure by purchasing derivatives that would increase in value if the price of these commodities declines.
