3. , the closest to expiry contract is cheaper than a contract further out along the curve, then the convenience yield, c, is smaller than r + u for that commodity. If a consumer thinks that there will be 17 Or, with continuous compounding, F = (S + U) × e(r–c)T . Likewise, when the storage costs u are proportional to the price of the commodity, the inequality is F < S × e(r+u)T . If we “add in” the convenience yield, c, the forward pricing equation becomes F × ecT = S × e(r+u)T or F = S × e(r+u–c)T .
As with a forward contract, the parties to a futures contract must fulfil the terms of the contract on the delivery date. Also, as with a forward contract, the price is set at the point of trading. Unlike a forward contract, however, the asset that is delivered for each contract will be of standardized quantity and quality, both of which are determined by the exchange on which the future is traded. Consequently, a future is a standardized contract and can be used for hedging, investment or speculative purposes, just like many other financial assets.
In general, on any given date before the delivery date, if we are able to calculate the new implied forward price related to the delivery date using the formulae presented in the previous sections, we can calculate the value of the existing forward contract by simply taking the difference between the new implied forward price and the agreed delivery price and then discounting this quantity with the appropriate discount factor. If we define T as the agreed delivery date, K as the agreed delivery price, t as the valuation date and F as the new implied forward price for the delivery date T, the value at t of the existing forward contract for a long position in one unit of the underlying asset is given by: DF(????, ???? ) × (???? − ????) where DF(t, T) is the discount factor applicable at t to cash flows payable at T.
