I'm trying to understand futures trading and want to know what a futures exchange is. Could you provide me with an example of a futures exchange?

    The majority of futures trading volume is attributed to companies that aim to mitigate potential risks.

    These companies engage in futures trading to hedge against unforeseen market fluctuations.

    For instance, an airline might anticipate an increase in oil prices.

    To protect itself from the potential rise, the airline might decide to purchase futures contracts.

    These contracts allow the airline to lock in a lower fuel price for the future.
