Tetable Hypothesis1) The introduction of commodity future has increased spot market efficiency2) Future prices are determined on the basis of cost of carry model
DATA SOURCE Spot Prices :NCDEX Forward Prices :NCDEX Transportation cost: Warehousing Cost :CWC ,SWC
Random walk testSerial correlation coefficient testRuns test Methodology
Cost-of-carry Model Futures price = Spot Price + Carry Cost Forward pricing with transportation cost F = (S0 +U) e rT F = S0e(r+u)T Forward pricing with convenience Yield F = S0e(r+u-y)T
