Secondly, for the time being, during the introduction stage, Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 futures trading has been dominated by individual investors, with the purpose of speculation and relatively low liquidity. But as the market matures and more major institutional investors actively participate in futures trading, the liquidity of the market will gradually increase.

Chapter 2 briefly introduces the history of the Chinese derivatives market, the product specifications and related regulations of Shanghai and Shenzhen 300 futures, and the derivative market of Korea. Chapter 3 introduces theoretical research and empirical results of the Korean derivatives market on price volatility and market efficiency.
With regard to financial leverage, de-leveraging has always been the subject of debate in China's financial markets. Many investors in China think that leverage is dangerous under the inertia of thinking and that high leverage is equivalent to high risk. However, to the best of my knowledge, high leverage may not be a totally high risk. In my previous article "Understanding the Relationship Between Financial Leverage and Investment Risk" and "Application of Financial Leverage in the International Investment Market" we further explained this point. In the futures market, the risk is lower as the leverage is higher.

In financial markets, speculation and insider information are characteristic of China's financial markets and have not been very successful in effectively allocating resources in the banking industry. The Shanghai Stock Exchange (hereinafter abbreviated as SHSE) and the Shenzhen Securities Exchange (hereinafter abbreviated as SZSE) were founded in 1990. These are the two major financial markets in China and are growing at astonishing rates. However, they did not take interests that would bring some improvement to the Chinese financial markets. All of these are due to the regulatory environment, which is characterized by regulatory environments, in particular the institutions responsible for investor legal protection and contract enforcement are not fully developed.
