ANSWER: C
There is mainly basis risk for positions that are both long and short either different months or contracts. Position II. is long twice the same contract and thus has no basis risk (but a lot of directional risk) .
ICE Brent Oil contracts 和NYMEX WTI Crude Oil contract怎么看出是现货还是期货合同?basis risk是不是在2个现货合同之前也会存在?在2个期货合同之前也会存在?谢谢老师。
