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.
就a而言,未来是要purchase大豆,所以要防止价格上涨,所以是long futures
那根据老师上课说的的cost of asset:
long future,说明是short spot,所以计算cost of asset=-fp0-basis risk
所以此时basis risk增加应该是cost of asset减少(减去一个更大的数字),应该是额外的收益?
然后我的推论就跟答案完全相反了,求解答,感谢!
