Commodities And Futures Trading Book
Aug/100
How can you explain commodity futures and to link agriculture to a child?
I tried a lot of websites and books but none of them are broken down completely to someone only familiar with this. I basically understand the idea of coverage, but I'm a bit lost when people talk about spreads and the base and, above all, do not understand the relationship between physical commodities and all these pieces of paper that apparently are traded on futures exchanges.
If a corn farmer looked in the paper and seen trade of corn at $ 6 per bushel and said to himself if it was only in November and had my corn crop could sell and make a profit and be happy, but every year when I sell my corn, the price is so low that it loses money. Futures give the opportunity to farmers to sell in February and make a profit. Next, would be covered by the spot price of corn. So when November arrives and the ground is $ 3 bushel a bushel for their crop 5000 would be $ 15,000 prize! but then he was going to buy back his futures contract that paid him $ 15,000 for less than what it means allready which made a profit of 15,000 (30,000 who originally received-15, 000 and close) The point here to understand how true hedger can never be lost in the decline in the price of the merchandise which is the catch, he can never win in an increase in prices. If the price of corn was $ 9 a bushel in November would be up to $ 15,000 in the spot price, but to close their future coverage would have to buy back their contracts of more than 15,000 who originally received. So what is the moral of the story giving the best to be happy with $ 6 a bushel.
