问题如下:
20 futures contracts are used to hedge an exposure to the price of soybeans. Each futures contract is on 5,000 bushels. At the time the hedge is closed out, the basis is 20 cents per bushel. What is the effect of the basis on the hedger if (a) the purchase of soybeans is being hedged and (b) the sale of soybeans is being hedged?
选项:
解释:
The basis increases the net price after hedging by 20 * 5,000 * USD 0.20 or USD 20,000. In (a) this is an extra cost to the hedger. In (b) it is an extra amount received from the sale of soybeans.
结合这道例题,请问在实操中,如果我想买大豆,如果价格涨上去了,我可以等到futures到期了交割啊,不用买现货?如果是想在futures到期前买入大豆,那可以一开始选择一个符合预期的futures?
