Book Synopsis Cash Settlement and Futures Price Volatility by : Leo H. Chan
Download or read book Cash Settlement and Futures Price Volatility written by Leo H. Chan and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) abandoned the live hog futures contract (physical delivery) in December 1996 and replaced it with the lean hog futures contract (cash settlement), with the intention of improving the effectiveness of the contract as a risk management tool. This paper applies implied volatility derived from options on live/lean hog futures contracts to examine the possible effects of cash settlement on futures price volatility. Using different data windows and applying different model specifications, it is found that the hog futures price has become less volatile, thus improving the risk management function of the futures contract, since the adoption of cash settlement.
Book Synopsis Using High, Low, Open and Closing Prices to Estimate the Effects of Cash Settlement on Futures Prices by : Leo H. Chan
Download or read book Using High, Low, Open and Closing Prices to Estimate the Effects of Cash Settlement on Futures Prices written by Leo H. Chan and published by . This book was released on 2001 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prior to 1986, any opening position on feeder cattle futures contract must be settled with physical delivery after the last trading day. Due to dwindling commercial interests, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) subsequently replaced the system with the cash settlement method. It was argued that cash settlement would help reduces the futures price's volatility. In this paper, we adopted stochastic volatility models to investigate this conjecture. The models allow for time varying volatility. Using 4 estimators based on mixtures of high, low, open and close prices, we found all estimators conclude that the volatility of the feeder cattle futures price decreased after switching from physical delivery to cash settlement. The change in the contract specification therefore enhances price discovery and risk management functions of the futures market. Concerning the higher moments of the volatility, different conclusions were derived. Range data, the Parkinson and the Rogers-Satchell estimators all indicate that cash settlement led to a reduction in the volatility of volatility.

Book excerpt: Prior to 1986, any opening position on feeder cattle futures contract must be settled with physical delivery after the last trading day. Due to dwindling commercial interests, Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) subsequently replaced the system with the cash settlement method. It was argued that cash settlement would help improve the convergence between cash and futures prices and reduce the basis variability. In this paper, we adopted stochastic volatility models to investigate this conjecture. The models allow for time varying volatility. We found strong evidence of reduction in basis and in basis variance after cash settlement. Moreover, cash settlement induced a change in the structural relationship between cash and futures prices. The futures market has become more efficient after the change in settlement methods.

Book Synopsis Availability and Settlement of Individual Stock Futures and Options Expiration Effects by : Donald D. Lien
Download or read book Availability and Settlement of Individual Stock Futures and Options Expiration Effects written by Donald D. Lien and published by . This book was released on 2008 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study examines whether the expiration-day effects of stock options traded in Australian Stock Exchange on return, volatility, trading volume, and temporary price changes of individual stocks vary with the availability and the settlement method of individual stock futures contracts. Using transaction data of the stocks that have both options and futures contacts from 1993 to 1997, we find that options expiration has significant effects on return and volatility of the underlying stocks in absence of individual stock futures. After introduction of a cash-settled stock futures contract, the effects decrease notably. However, the switch of a futures contract from cash settlement to physical delivery promotes the expiration effects on return and volatility and boosts temporary price changes on expiration days. Finally, options expiration has little effect on trading volume. Trading activity tends to behave normally regardless whether stock futures contracts are available or not.
Book Synopsis Settlement Method of Eurodollar Futures and Expiration Day Effects by : Tae H. Park
Download or read book Settlement Method of Eurodollar Futures and Expiration Day Effects written by Tae H. Park and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four times a year, Eurodollar futures contracts are settled by cash to a final settlement price that is tied to spot three-month LIBOR. The LIBOR used in the settlement is determined by the Chicago Mercantile Exchange after conducting two surveys of major banks on the last hour of settlement. This paper tests for abnormal changes in the volatility of Eurodollar futures prices during the time of survey on expiration days. In contrast to the recent studies on the effects of the release of public information on derivative markers, this study focuses on the release of private information. We specifically test whether private information contained in the settlement survey of the participating banks influences market activity. Volatility series are examined for expiring and nearby contracts using the price changes in fifteen minute intervals for the period June 1982 to June 1992. Once the effects of government announcements are controlled for, our results indicate that, for the expiring contracts, volatility is reduced during the time of survey. perhaps due to reduced open interest and activity near the expiration hour. However, the price volatility of the nearest contracts increases during the rime of the survey on expiration days. This effect is more pronounced at the beginning of the survey rime, between 8:00 and 8:15 Chicago time. This result sheds new light on the importance of the release of private information on derivatives markers.

Book Synopsis Establishing a Foreign Exchange Futures Market in China by : Mr. Zhongxia Jin
Download or read book Establishing a Foreign Exchange Futures Market in China written by Mr. Zhongxia Jin and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 2021-11-12 with total page 22 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During China’s transition toward a more flexible exchange rate, it is essential to further develop its foreign exchange (FX) derivatives markets to meet the growing hedging needs associated with greater exchange rate fluctuations. Although over-the-counter (OTC) FX derivatives markets already exist in China, it lacks a FX futures market that offers critical complementarities. With standardized products, greater transparency and centralized oversight, a FX futures market can better satisfy the hedging needs of small and medium-sized enterprises and enhance regulatory efficiency. To address concerns regarding whether FX futures market will amplify the volatility of spot exchange rates, this paper analyzes the impact of establishing FX futures markets on spot market volatility using data from major emerging market economies. The result shows that FX futures market is not empirically associated with an increase in spot market volatility; in some cases, it is even associated with a decrease in spot market volatility. This paper further suggests that for a well-functioning FX futures market to be established, it is essential for China to substitute the inefficient documentation requirement of underlying exposures with a new set of market-oriented measures for the purpose of prudent regulation.
