Futures trading involves a legal contract to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price at a future date. It is used extensively across financial markets—be it equities, commodities, or currencies.
In India, futures contracts are available for:
💡 Example: A trader expecting crude oil prices to rise buys a futures contract. If the price increases by expiry, they profit.
Futures are often used to protect portfolios from adverse price changes.
Example: A farmer locks in the price of wheat by selling wheat futures on NCDEX, protecting against post-harvest price drops.
Retail traders speculate on price movements to make profits in short durations.
Example: Intraday traders frequently use Bank Nifty futures for margin-based trading.
Futures contracts require only a margin deposit, offering exposure to a much larger position.
⚠️ Note: Leverage can amplify both profits and losses.
To start trading, you need a demat + trading account and F&O activation with a SEBI-registered broker.
Let’s say you expect Reliance Industries to rise in price.
If it goes up to ₹2,600:
If it falls to ₹2,400:
As you can see, volatility and timing are crucial.

सोने की कीमतें तीन सप्ताह के उच्चतम स्तर के करीब पहुंच गई है, क्योंकि अमेरिका से कमजोर आर्थिक आकड़ो से अटकलें लगाईं जा रही है कि फेडरल रिजर्व के पास ब्याज दरें बढ़ाने के लिए बहुत कम गुंजाइश है। पिछले सप्ताह सोने में मजबूत बढ़त देखी गई क्योंकि कमजोर अमेरिकी जीडीपी और रोजगार आंकड़ो ने डॉलर और ट्रेजरी यील्ड को कम कर दिया। चीनी आर्थिक मंदी की बढ़ती आशंकाओं के बीच सोने की सुरक्षित निवेश मांग में भी वृद्धि देखी गई, क्योंकि एशिया की सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था चीन के आंकड़े मंदी की और संकेत कर रहे है। चीन के आंकड़ों से पता चला है कि मैन्युफैक्चरिंग सेक्टर अगस्त में लगातार पांचवें महीने सिकुड़ गया है, जबकि नॉन-मैन्युफैक्चरिंग विकास भी धीमा हो गया है। आर्थिक आकड़ो ने चीन में निरंतर आर्थिक कमजोरी की ओर इशारा किया है, जबकि चीन ने अर्थव्यवस्था को समर्थन देने के लिए और अधिक प्रोत्साहन उपाय करना जारी रखा है। फोकस अब चीन के अधिक प्रोत्साहन उपायों पर है, खबरों से स्पष्ट होता है कि पीपुल्स बैंक ऑफ चाइना तरलता को बढ़ावा देने के लिए मॉर्गेज और युआन जमा दरों को और कम करने की योजना बना रहा है, और फॉरेक्स रिज़र्व रेक्विरेमेंट रेश्यो को पिछले सप्ताह कम कर दिया है। अमेरिकी डॉलर, जो सोने के विपरीत दिशा में चलता है, पिछले सप्ताह 1 प्रतिशत तक लुढ़क गया और बेंचमार्क अमेरिकी बांड यील्ड उच्च स्तरों से पीछे हट गई है जिससे सोने और चांदी की चमक बढ़ती दिखाई दी है। पिछले सप्ताह एमसीएक्स में ऑक्टूबर वायदा सोना और दिसंबर वायदा चांदी में 1.5 प्रतिशत बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है। अमेरिका ब्याज दरें अधिक होने के बावजूद कोर पीसीई प्राइस इंडेक्स के आंकड़े स्थिर रहे जबकि पर्सनल स्पेंडिंग में बढ़ोतरी दर्ज की गई है। लेकिन ऊंची दरों के बीच अगर वैश्विक आर्थिक हालात बिगड़ते हैं तो इस साल भी सोने में कुछ मजबूती देखने को मिल सकती है। हाल के अमेरिकी जीडीपी आंकड़ों से पता चला है कि साल की पहली छमाही में आर्थिक मंदी का असर नहीं होने के बावजूद, दुनिया की सबसे बड़ी अर्थव्यवस्था अभी ठंडी पड़ी हुई है। त्यौहार सीजन के पहले कीमती धातुओं में घरेलु मांग बढ़ने के आसार है, और भारत में अलनीनो प्रभाव के चलते 122 साल में अब तक सबसे कम बारिश हुई है जिससे फ़ूड इन्फ्लेशन बढ़ने की सम्भावना भी है, जो कीमती धातुओं के भाव को सपोर्ट कर सकता है।
इस सप्ताह कीमती धातुओं के भाव में तेज़ी बनी रहने की सम्भावना है। एमसीएक्स अक्टूबर वायदा सोने में सपोर्ट 58800 रुपये पर है और रेजिस्टेंस 60500 रुपये पर है। दिसंबर वायदा चांदी में सपोर्ट 74000 रुपये पर है और रेजिस्टेंस 78000 रुपये पर है।

Rishabh Instruments is a multinational company offering energy efficiency solutions. The company has a diverse product portfolio and a vertically integrated operation. The company is operating globally in a large, addressable market. Their brands ‘Rishabh’, ‘Lumel’, Sifam, and ‘Tinsley’ are well recognised in multiple countries. The financial position of the company is currently not very attractive, but it is stable.
However, multi-location operations and global sales raise concerns related to international exposure. Secondly, any kind of shortage in their production inputs, like semiconductors, could also impact their business. The IPO is coming at a P/E valuation of 34.34x. Though the company does not have any listed peers to compare, its valuation is looking high in general. We will recommend this IPO only for high-risk investors.
