  3. Markets • Price • an indicator of the relative balance between the supply of and the demand for a particular product or commodity. • Commodity • a product over which the producer has lost control of the price. • Derivative • a product whose price is derived from the price of something else, which is referred to as the underlying commodity.

  4. Markets • Spot Market • Immediate Physical Delivery • and immediate payment • Derivative Markets • Deferred Physical Delivery • Financially Settled Arrangements • Economic Purpose • Hedging • Price discovery

  5. Risk and Risk Management: Strategic Implications What is risk management? Active identification and unbundling of the risks (exposures) a company faces in order to profit from exposures a company is well equipped to handle and mitigate potential losses from other risks. What is strategic risk management? Use of risk management to alter fundamentally a company’s equity valuation through optimizing capital structure, enhancing risk/return profile of company’s businesses and facilitating profitable pursuit of new opportunities. Derivatives A set of tools- forwards, futures, options, swaps and enhanced vehicles - that allow management to keep and add to those risks it seeks, and to shed those risks it chooses not to bear. These tools, which are traded in financial markets, allow management to focus on its core competencies in pursuit of its principal goal - maximizing returns while minimizing the variance of those returns. They are only part of the risk management tool set, along with operational efficiencies, competitive strategy, and so on.

  6. Markets Requisites for a Futures Market Characteristics of the underlying cash commodity • Price Volatility • Active market • Open market (no government controls)

  7. Price Theory Forward Curve The price of a commodity over time. Two different shapes: • Contango • Backwardated

  8. Price Theory Futures v. Cash Prices If the futures price is greater than the cash price, then: Futures Price = Cash Price + Storage

  9. Price Theory Contango Price time • Forward prices are successively higher over time • Today’s price is the lowest • Current supply exceeds demand

  10. Price Theory Futures v. Cash Prices If the cash price is greater than the futures price, then: Futures Price = Cash Price + Storage - Convenience Yield

  11. Price Theory Backwardation Price time Forward prices are successively lower over time • Today’s price is the highest • Current demand exceeds supply

  13. Futures Exchange • Characteristics: • Liquidity • Safety • Flexibility • Ingenuity

  14. Futures Exchange Forward A bilateral commitment to buy or sell an agreed upon asset for a predetermined price on a specific future date. Futures A standardized forward contract which is traded on an organized futures exchange.

  15. Futures Exchange Standard Contract Terms • Size • Quality • Point of Delivery • Time of Delivery • Payment • Disputes

  16. Futures Exchange Variable Contract Terms • Price • Number of contracts orders • Delivery Month

  17. Futures Exchange Rules of Operation • Times and days of business • Position limits • Daily price limits • Margin requirements • Delivery procedures • Payment • Disputes

  18. 97%-98% OF ALL FUTURES ARE NOT DELIVERED in other words: ONLY 2%-3% OF THE CONTRACTS TRADED ARE DELIVERED! EXAMPLE: IN 1990: 719,000 CRUDE OIL NYMEX CONTRACTS WERE ACTUALLY DELIVERED OUT OF 23 MILLION: ABOUT 3.126% QUESTION: WHAT DOES THIS MEAN? ACTIVITIES IN THE FUTURES MARKETS ARE MOSTLY FOR PURPOSES OTHER THAN PURCHASE AND SALE OF COMMODITY: FINANCIAL GOALS AND RISK MANAGEMENT GOALS.

  19. QUESTION: HOW IS IT POSSIBLE FOR 98% OF EXISTING CONTRACTS TO DISAPPEAR? ANSWER: THE CLEARINGHOUSE REGULATION AND ACCOUNTING METHODS. THE CLEARINGHOUSE A NON-PROFIT MEMBERSHIP CLUB. THE CLEARINGHOUSE IS THE OMNIPOTENT GUARANTOR OF ALL CONTRACTS. * CLEARINGHOUSE GURANTEE: TO THE LONG - NO DEFAULT ON THE SELLING SIDE. TO THE SHORT - NO DEFAULT ON THE BUYING SIDE. * THE CLEARINGHOUSE DOES NOT GURANTEE THE MARKET ! * THE CLEARINGHOUSE NEVER TAKES A POSITION. * THE CLEARINGHOUSE MAKES SURE THAT ALL TRADES MATCH. I.E., THAT ALL THE POSITIONS MUST ADD UP TO ZERO EVERY TRADING DAY.

  20. Clearinghouse Exchange Corporation Futures Commission Merchants (FCMs) Exchange Members Clearing Members Nonclearing Members FCM Customers

  21. Futures Exchange Types of Positions • Long - a commitment to buy; benefits if prices rise • Short - a commitment to sell; benefits if prices fall

  22. Buyer Seller Member Firm Member Firm Buying Floor Broker Selling Floor Broker Trading Ring Orders executed by open outcry by buying and selling floor brokers, recorded and placed on ticker Buying: floor broker confirms purchase Selling: floor broker confirms sale Member firm Reports purchase Reports sale Member firm Confirms purchase Confirms sale Clearinghouse 1 obligation long 1 obligation short Buyer now long 1 contract Seller now short 1 contract Total open interest: 1 contract

  23. Seller - long with obligation to pay for and take delivery Buyer - short with obligation to deliver Member Firm Member Firm Selling Floor Broker Buying Floor Broker Trading Ring Orders executed by open outcry by buying and selling floor brokers, recorded and placed on ticker Selling floor broker confirms purchase Buying floor broker confirms sale Member firm Reports sale Reports purchase Member firm Confirms sale Confirms purchase Clearinghouse 1 Obligation or short purchased canceling sell obligation 1 Obligation or long sold canceling buy obligation Buyer has offset obligation by sale – no market position Seller has offset obligation by purchase - no market position Total open interest: 0 contract

  28. Futures Exchange • Marking-to Market • The process that realizes all • gains and losses. • Settlement Price • The benchmark against which all • accounts are marked-to-market.
