Actually, since they are futures and there is no settlement until the contract comes due, there is no financing required other than the initial margin requirement which is more of a security for the broker that you will pay for any losses incurred. If the security is deposited in the form of t-bills, then you can actually earn interest on the deposit. If the balance falls to a position requiring more margin and you do not provide the margin, he just closes your positions and liquidates the account. Nothing could be more simple.
