Many people have misconceptions about finance, believing it to be virtual and unreliable. However, the truth is quite the opposite. The core of the financial industry is actually deeply rooted in the real economy and is an important engine that drives economic operations.

The risk control mechanisms in the financial industry are usually stricter and more comprehensive than those in traditional physical industries. This also explains why, during times of economic turmoil, we often see large-scale bankruptcies of physical enterprises, while financial institutions are able to survive relatively stably.

Taking futures trading as an example, especially in the case of commodity futures, it is closely linked to the real economy sectors such as manufacturing. The futures market provides important price discovery and risk management tools for companies using raw materials. Without the liquidity support provided by such financial instruments, many factories might find it difficult to maintain normal operations.

Therefore, we should not oppose finance to the real economy. Instead, we should recognize the symbiotic relationship between them. The financial services industry provides necessary funding support and risk management tools for the real economy, while the development of the real economy offers ample space for financial innovation.

In today's complex economic environment, understanding and effectively utilizing financial tools will help enterprises better cope with market fluctuations and achieve sustainable development. At the same time, we must also be wary of the risks that excessive financialization may bring, and always combine financial development with the needs of the real economy to achieve long-term healthy economic growth.
