Chapter 657 (1/2)
just after Xiao Peng reminded him on the phone, he remembered about platinum.
A large amount of platinum will soon be transported back to the earth, which will definitely have a great impact on the precious metal trading market.
When the platinum is delivered to the earth, the price of platinum will not know how much to fall.
This time, the rocket brought back 500 tons of platinum ingots. It was not that Yesu didn't want to carry more, but the rocket's carrying capacity reached the limit.
If the Kunpeng II rocket flies back and forth between the earth and Mars, it can only carry 500 tons of cargo at most.
If the rocket's carrying capacity is beyond this range, the nuclear fusion fuel on the rocket may not be enough.
Although the number of 500 tons is nothing in the industrial age, the annual output of those steel industries is hundreds of millions of tons.
But if the number of 500 tons is added to platinum, it will be a very terrible number.
The reserves of platinum on the earth are very low, and the annual output is only a little bit.
It is because platinum is rare, so its price is high.
At present, the annual production of platinum on the earth is about 85 tons.
This time, 500 tons of finished platinum have been transported back, which is more than six times the annual output of the earth.
In other words, Yeosu got back six years of platinum production from Mars in one go.
So many platinum suddenly flooded the market, the price of platinum will fall a lot.
What's more, it's just that futures trading is a big part of the financial industry, and Ye Su's financial transaction is the most risky.
It has happened more than once that you can lose billions in a second in futures trading.
Futures and spot are essentially different, which is actually a period of time before delivery of goods.
On this kind of future time trading goods, a financial market is derived.
The futures market is simply a game of goods prices. We can forecast the future price of some goods, and then carry out long short trading according to the forecast.
If you are right at last, you can make a lot of money in the futures market, otherwise you will lose to grandma's house.
In fact, the futures market is an adventure for both sides. We bet on whether the price of such goods will rise or fall in the future.
If you think that the price of this kind of goods will rise in the future, you can do more in the futures market. If the price of such goods increases in the future, you will make money, otherwise you will lose money.
If you think that the price of this kind of goods will fall in the future, you should go short in the futures market, which is the same as long.
