107 views

I have read about index futures contracts and as I know there are diferent strike, expiration dates and new contracts can be created. So when future prices are down does it mean more people are selling those contracts? if more prople are selling. Does it mean all future contracts ? (with different strikes)

The futures you are referring to are the nearest expiration, strike and their pricing. Yes, all futures contracts generally move the same direction as the market. Sometimes, small differences can be made with extraordinary buying or selling, but that usually gets corrected very quickly.
