2. The relationship between the market base of derivative financial products and the stock market.1. The nature and risks of derivative financial productsAccording to the research report of financial institutions, the trading volume of derivative financial commodity market usually drops sharply during the period of stock market downturn. This is because investors' income expectations of derivative financial products have decreased, while risk aversion has increased. For example, during the global financial crisis in 2008, the stock market plummeted, and the markets of derivatives such as futures and options also fell into chaos. Many investors suffered heavy losses because of the transactions of derivatives.
Participants in the derivative financial commodity market, including hedgers icon and speculators, their trading strategies largely depend on the trend of the stock market. Hedgers hedge the risks in the stock market by derivative financial products. If the stock market does not rise, their hedging needs may decrease. Speculators hope to profit from the price fluctuations in the stock market and the derivative financial commodity market. If the stock market lacks upward momentum, speculators will also reduce their participation in the derivative financial commodity market.1. The nature and risks of derivative financial productsFirst, the basic position of the stock capital market
The stock market is an important channel for enterprises to raise funds. By issuing stocks, enterprises can gather idle funds in society for expanding production and developing new technologies. For example, in the early development stage, Tesla icon invested a lot of money in the research and development of electric vehicle technology and the construction of production base through financing in the stock market. The growth of a large number of enterprises depends on the capital supply of the stock market. If the stock market does not rise, the financing ability of enterprises will be limited, and new investment projects may not be started, which will affect the innovation and development of the whole economy.The stock market also has the function of resource allocation. The rising stock market can guide the flow of funds to enterprises with good efficiency and development potential, and realize the optimal allocation of resources. When the stock price does not rise, the flow of funds may be stagnant or disorderly, and those high-quality enterprises that should have been supported by funds may be ignored, resulting in waste of resources and inefficient allocation.The existence and development of derivative financial commodity market is based on the stock market. The stock market provides the pricing basis and trading objects for derivative financial products. If the stock market does not rise, derivative financial products will lose the source of their price changes. For example, stock index futures are futures contracts with the stock index as the target. If the stock index does not rise for a long time, it will be difficult to attract investors and its market value will be greatly reduced.
