Futures contracts are agreements between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a future date, at a price set at the time of the trade. On B3, the most traded futures contracts are dollar (DOL/WDO) and Ibovespa (IND/WIN).
Unlike the spot market, where you buy the asset immediately, in the futures market you trade the price expectation. This allows you to profit from both rising and falling markets, as well as hedge against adverse movements.
