Financial instruments are certain asset classes that can be traded in financial markets through contracts such as CFDs, Spot Contracts, and Futures Contracts. Such Contracts represent an asset class to one party (the buyer) and a financial liability to the other party (the seller). Some of the financial assets that financial instruments fall under are commodities, stocks, currencies (Forex), indices, and ETFs. For example, Oil is a financial instrument that falls under commodities. |
