问题如下:
Consider the situation where the cost of an asset to be purchased in the future is being hedged. What is the impact of a positive basis when the hedge is closed out?
解释:
The cost of the asset is the initial futures price plus the basis. A positive basis therefore worsens the hedger’s situation.
老师好,有两个地方不太明白:
1、第一条红线不明白,题目说的是未来买现货,也就是现货:借来卖,未来买回,怕价格上涨,所以是short spot ,long futures。然后colse out 时,short futures,收到卖出的期货现金流(Ft-F0)明白,但是不明白为什么买现货?
2,这道题并不是说的是stettlement(到期交割/结算),而是close out,也就是期货未到期前做反向头寸中止期货。回答中的好多处表述是“到期日”这样说对吗?
