Interactive Brokers Adds Brazilian Futures through Brazil’s B3 Exchange

Key Terms

futures financial

A futures contract is a standardized agreement to buy or sell an asset (like a commodity, currency, or stock index) at a fixed price on a specific future date. Think of it like locking in the price of a house today for a move-in years from now: it lets buyers and sellers protect themselves against price swings or bet on which way prices will move. For investors, futures matter because they provide a cheap way to manage risk, amplify returns through leverage, and signal market expectations that can move cash prices.

equities financial

Equities are shares of ownership in a company that give holders a claim on profits and a share of the company's value as it rises or falls. For investors, equities matter because they offer potential for growth and income but also carry risk—like owning a slice of a business, your return depends on how well that business performs, and shares can be bought or sold in markets to change your exposure.
