4 Futures 4
5 Futures 5 4 Futures Essentials 1) Margin
6 Futures 6 2) Marking-to-market You are long 10 gold futures contracts, established at an initial settle price of $785 per ounce, where each contract represents 100 ounces. Your initial margin to establish the position is $2,025 per contract, and the maintenance margin is $1,700 per contract. Over the subsequent four trading days, gold settles at $779, $776, $781, and $787, respectively. Compute the balance in your margin account at the end of each of the four trading days, and compute your total profit or loss at the end of the trading period. Assume that a margin call requires you to fund your account back to the initial margin requirement.
7 Futures 7 You are short 25 gasoline futures contracts, established at an initial settle price of $2.085 per gallon, where each contract represents 42,000 gallons. Your initial margin to establish the position is $7,425 per contract, and the maintenance margin is $6,500 per contract. Over the subsequent four trading days, gas settles at $2.071, $2.099, $2.118, and $2.146, respectively. Compute the balance in your margin account at the end of each of the four trading days, and compute your total profit or loss at the end of the trading period. Assume that a margin call requires you to fund your account back to the initial margin requirement.
8 Futures 8 3) Cash futures arbitrage 4) Futures positions can be reversed at any time. Taxes Position limits Wheat below In accordance with Rule 559., Position Limits and Exemptions, no person shall own or control positions in excess of: contracts net long or net short in the spot month. In the last five trading days of the expiring futures month in May, the speculative position limit will be 600 contracts if deliverable supplies are at or above 2,400 contracts, 500 contracts if deliverable supplies are between 2,000 and 2,399 contracts, 400 contracts if deliverable supplies are between 1,600 and 1,999 contracts, 300 contracts if deliverable supplies are between 1,200 and 1,599 contracts, and 220 contracts if deliverable supplies are below 1,200 contracts. Deliverable supplies will be determined from the CBOT s Stocks of Grain report on the Friday preceding the first notice day for the May contract month. 2. 5,000 futures-equivalent contracts net long or net short in any single contract month excluding the spot month. Additional futures contracts may be held outside of the spot month as part of futures/futures spreads within a crop year provided that the total of such positions, when combined with outright positions, does not exceed the all months combined limit. 3. 6,500 futures-equivalent contracts net long or net short in all months combined.
9 Futures 9 Futures pricing F T = S(1+ R) T Stock price = $12, R F = 4%, expiration = 3 months With dividends F T = S(1+ R d) T Stock price = $80, R F = 7%, expiration = 6 months, d = 3%
10 Futures 10 CFA Question Joan Tam, CFA, believes she has identified an arbitrage opportunity as indicated by the information given below: Spot price for commodity: $120 Futures price for commodity expiring in one year: $125 Interest rate for one year: 8% a. Describe the transactions necessary to take advantage of this specific arbitrage opportunity. b. Calculate the arbitrage profit. c. Describe two market imperfections that could limit Tam s ability to implement this arbitrage strategy.
11 Futures 11 c. Direct Transaction Costs: First, the trader must pay a fee to have an order executed. This fee includes commissions and various exchange fees. Second, in every market, there is a bid-ask spread. Market makers on the floor of the exchange must try to sell at a higher price (ask price) than the price at which they are willing to buy (bid price). Without the inclusion of transactions costs, the same arbitrage opportunity that is profitable without transaction costs may not be profitable after transaction costs. Rather than having a specific no-arbitrage price in which traders can profit, there is now a bound of no-arbitrage futures prices, bounded by the applicable transaction costs. Unequal Borrowing and Lending Rates: In perfect markets, all traders can borrow and lend at the risk-free rate. This is not true in real markets. Generally, traders face a borrowing rate that exceeds the lending rate. As in the case of transaction costs, there is no longer a single no-arbitrage price but rather a transaction that has boundaries established by the differential between the borrowing and lending rates. Restrictions on Short Selling: In perfect markets traders can sell assets short and use the proceeds from the short sale. In actual markets, however, there are serious impediments to short selling. First, for some goods, there is virtually no opportunity for short selling. This is particularly true for many physical goods. Second, even when short selling is permitted, restrictions limit the use of funds from the short sale. Often these restrictions mean that the short seller does not have the use of all of the proceeds from the short sale. This particularly is important in the reverse cash and carry, where the short sale is employed in the transaction. Short selling restrictions lower the boundary of the reverse cash and carry. If an investor can only use a portion of the short sale proceeds, that condition will depress the lower boundary, having little effect on the futures price. Limitations on Storage: The storability of a commodity is important in the futures pricing of some commodities. While some goods store well, others do not. Perishable commodities are said to have infinite storage costs. This limitation to storage means that a cash and carry strategy cannot link futures and cash prices. Therefore, when the cash and carry or reverse cash and carry strategy are executed, the inability to store a commodity indefinitely can cause the no arbitrage bounds to be altered to reflect the actual limitations to storage. Supply Shortage: The supply of commodities such as gold is large relative to its consumption, hence the market for gold will closely approximate its full carry market. The supply of some industrial metals is small relative to consumption and those markets are not full carry markets. Seasonal Factors: Highly seasonal production or consumption factors can cause distortions in normal price relationships. Tam must also realize that these imperfections differ widely across markets and have different effects on different traders, and that their potential effect on her ability to implement a given arbitrage strategy depends on her unique circumstances.
12 Futures 12 CFA Problem Donna Doni, CFA, wants to explore inefficiencies in the futures market. The TOBEC stock index has a spot value of 185 now. TOBEC futures are settled in cash and underlying contract values are determined by multiplying $100 times the index value. The current annual risk-free interest rate is 6 percent. a. Calculate the theoretical price of the futures contract expiring six months from now, using the cost-of-carry model. b. The total (round-trip) transaction cost for trading a futures contract is $15. Calculate the lower bound for the price of the futures contract expiring six months from now.
13 Futures 13 Hedging with Futures Stock hedging with futures # of contracts = S&P500 = 1300, V P = $100,000,000, S&P futures are $250 times the index, portfolio β = 1.25 Bond hedging with futures # of contracts = D F = D U + M F D P = 8 years, V P = $100,000,000, D U = 6.5 years, maturity = 6 months, Futures price = 98, bond futures = $100,000

Bond maturity and coupon payment are rounded to the nearest 3 months. If the bond payment is in exactly 6 months, the first payment is assumed to be after 3 months and the interest is subtracted. Example 1 14% semiannual coupon, 20 years and 2 months to maturity Example 2 14% semiannual coupon, 18 years and 4 months to maturity
