Futures terminology
Spot price
Futures price
Contract cycle
Expiry date
Contract /lot size –Revisit
Basis :Spot price-Futures price
Cost of carry-relationship between
future price and spot price- cost of
storage+Interest –benefit accrued
from the asset
Basis
Short hedge-Spot 1 : Rs 100
Spot 2: 85 Futures 1: Rs102 Futures
2:Rs87
When basis strengthens –Gain ?
When basis weakens –Loss?
• Long hedge –Spot 1:Rs.200 Futures
1-Rs.203 Spot 2:Rs.240
Futures2:Rs243
• Why spot price= future price @
expiry? Arbitrage opportunity

exchange-sets the day price movement limit of
underlying-initial margin money collected – Price
increases = the daily price limit i-e limit up ;
 Price decreases=the daily price limit i-e limit
down
 Price Band : For FUTSTK-20%;INXSTK-10%
 Limit –up /down : circuit breaker for Index based

which the contract is traded-NSE:
average price of Last half an hour and
when trade is not taking place –
theoretical price will be taken to
consideration

risen to Rs.110 and the future has
risen to Rs.112

Index future
 Index is a number – represents the changes in
between two periods

in accordance to the stock price
Market capitalisation index: equity
price is weighted by the market
capitalisation of the company(share
price* shares outstanding)
Index=
Current market capitalisation * Base value
Base market capitalisation

Margin – Role of Clearing House/
corporation
Central counter party
Seller to buyer
Buyer to seller
Deposit of funds-with the clearing
corporation
Initial margin –a deposit for meeting out
the potential loss on the position based
on maximum expected movement
overnight in price
PSG Institute of Management -2010 43
Margin
Initial margin: on previous
experience, collected from both
buyer and seller , subject to
revision,10% value of the contract,
calculated on the Value at
Risk(VaR)=To cover the one day
loss through 99% of the days .
VaR- value of the portfolio which is
expected to lose due to potential
changes in the underlying asset
(Clearing Corporation)
PSG Institute of Management -2010 44
Maintenance margin
 Maintenance Margin – to support the daily
settlement process “mark to market”-losses
already are collected
 Initial margin- to safeguard against potential
losses on outstanding positions.
 Maintenance margin-75-80% of initial margin –
adequate cash resources should be deposited –
transactions will be with held- to maintain the
margin shorting is done and profits are realised
and set the balances in the margin deposit and
the remaining are withdrawn by the investor
PSG Institute of Management -2010 45
Marking to market
- to evade credit risk – margin is
maintained by the exchange- from the
players- to overcome counterparty risk.
-Contract is marked to its present market
value.
On every day- contract is marked to
market
Trader vs Exchange
If trader earns profit- exchange is liable-
profit will be credited
Unless otherwise vice versa


PSG Institute of Management -2010 46
Variation margin
 To restore the initial margin- through margin
call from the exchange

Rs.473 per share , Mr. X buys 15 contracts of
Jan Telco futures of Rs.491.Assume that initial
margin is Rs.800 per contract and the
maintenance margin is Rs.600 per contract

Pricing of futures contract-
interest rate parity

 A theory in which the interest rate differential
between two countries is equal to the differential
between the forward exchange rate and the spot
exchange rate. Interest rate parity plays an
essential role in foreign exchange markets,
connecting interest rates, spot exchange rates and
foreign exchange rates.
F/S= (1+Rh)/(1+Rf)
F=S *e
(rh-rf)*r



PSG Institute of Management -2010 72
Example problems
Assume on March10,2002 annual
interest rate was 10% p.a on indian
rupees and US dollar was 7% per
annum . The spot Re/$ exchange
rate was 44 using the above futures
,calculate the theoretical futures
price on one year forward exchange
rate

Hedging with currency futures
Importer and Exporter
Long hedge – against the
appreciation of foregin currency
/depreciation of indian currency
Short hedge –against the
appreciation of indian
currency/depreciation of foregin
currency
PSG Institute of Management -2010 76
Risks in Hedging
The asset that is to be hedged may
not be exactly as the asset on
which the futures contracts are
written-Cash settlement in advance
Mis match of future contract
delivery period and demands of the
hedger i-e before the delivery
period
The quantity bought and sold may
be different from the futures
contract size
PSG Institute of Management -2010 77
Determinants of hedging
Choice of underlying currency
Choice of the maturity contracts
Hedge ratio

 On May 10,Meenakshi Rolling flour mills estimates that
it will require 5MT of wheat on June 20.It wants to hedge
the risk of increase in the price of wheat in the future and
decides to hedge the price risk using wheat futures in
MCX Indian. Futures contracts are available with delivery
on June 20 , with a futures price of INR 1,205. Since the
hedge lasts from May 10 to June 20 for a period of 42
days , the manager of mills find the following with
respect to the spot price and futures price of wheat
 Standard deviation of changes in spot price =`105
 Standard deviation of changes in futures price =`120
 Correlation between spot price and futures price changes
