金融期货市场是在商品期货市场的基础上产生和发展起来的。本世纪70年代,欧美一些发达资本主义国家进行了金融市场的一个最重大的革新,即借鉴商品期货市场的交易方式,逐步建立起金融期货市场。目前,金融期货在西方期货市场中占整个交易的比重已达到60％左右,对于稳定西方金融市场所起的作用越来越重要。 The financial futures market is generated and developed on the basis of the commodity futures market. In the 1970s, some developed capitalist countries in Europe and the United States carried out one of the most significant reforms in the financial market by drawing on the trading methods of the commodity futures market and gradually establishing the financial futures market. At present, the proportion of financial futures in the entire western futures market has reached about 60%, which plays an increasingly important role in stabilizing the western financial markets.
