How it started q Antiquity: first contracts (written on clay tablets) appeared in Mesopotamia How it started q Antiquity: first contracts (written on clay tablets) appeared in Mesopotamia around 2000 BC as contracts for future delivery of goods – E. g. merchant receives 6 shekels of silver and, in exchange, will repay it in 6 months with sesame, at the going rate – Played an important role in financing long-distance trade q Middle ages: most contracts were private, between parties – Byzantine Roman emperors Theodosian and Justinian (~400 AD) developed laws which allowed contracts to be traded q Renaissance: shares and bills of exchange were first issued by Italian city-states and then by other European cities – Amsterdam: emergence of cash-settled contracts (like CFD, contracts for difference), options on shares, and short-selling – 1637: crash of tulip market (largely consisting of CFD and options, OTC) FMI 3 -3

Example: How to sell oil? q An oil company needs to sell 1 mln. barrels in 1 year – The current oil price is $108 q Strategy 1: sell at the market price – What if the market price falls to $90? – Strategy 1 does not protect from the oil price risk q Strategy 2: sell now at one-year forward price $100 – What if the market price rises to $120? – Strategy 2 does protect from the downside risk, but also eliminates an upside potential FMI 3 -6

What is the forward’s payoff? q Obligation to buy / sell the underlying asset What is the forward’s payoff? q Obligation to buy / sell the underlying asset at T at the settlement price K – Long / short position – May be offset by the counter deal q There is no exchange of payments when the contract is signed – The settlement price is chosen to make the contract worth exactly zero q Payoff at T: ST-F – Symmetric for the buyer and seller 3 -7 FMI Payoff at maturity

How can one apply forward (futures)? q Hedging: reducing undesirable risks arising from the How can one apply forward (futures)? q Hedging: reducing undesirable risks arising from the underlying business activity – E. g. , the farmer grows grain to sell in September – By selling September forward on grain in spring, he can eliminate the price risk (though not the risk of a poor crop) q Speculating: taking risky position in hope for profit – If you expect bullish market, buy futures on the stock market index – Derivatives give leverage and increase both expected return and risk q Arbitrage: finding a riskless profit opportunity – Buy an undervalued asset and sell an overvalued asset with the same risk characteristics: e. g. , buy oil and sell oil futures – However, pure arbitrage is very rare: there always some risks FMI 3 -8

How to make forward an exchange-traded contract? Forward q Specific terms Futures q Standardized How to make forward an exchange-traded contract?

What are swaps? q Exchange of cash flows (‘legs’) linked to the underlying – What are swaps? q Exchange of cash flows (‘legs’) linked to the underlying – Like a portfolio of forwards (same settlement price, different dates) q Currency swap – Periodic exchange of principal and/or interest payments denominated in different currencies at a fixed exchange rate q Interest rate swap – Periodic exchange of fixed-rate and floating-rate interest payments for a fixed notional value • E. g. , fixed 4% for floating LIBOR What are swaps usually used for? 3 -12 FMI

What is the main factor driving the option’s premium? q The option’s premium is What is the main factor driving the option’s premium? q The option’s premium is higher than intrinsic value (profit from the option if exercised now) q Time value (option’s premium - intrinsic value) is positive, since the stock price can change before maturity – If the stock price goes up, the call option will give a higher profit – If the stock price falls, the call option’s losses are limited to 0 q The higher the stock’s volatility, the better! 3 -15 FMI

How to price options? q No-arbitrage approach – If two portfolios yield the same How to price options? q No-arbitrage approach – If two portfolios yield the same payoff in the future, they must have the same price now q Example: synthetic forward = long call + short put q European call-put parity: – Call with cash = covered put c 0 + Ke-r. T = p 0 + S 0 q Black-Scholes model (1973) – Represent European options as dynamic portfolio of stocks and bonds FMI 3 -16

Mexico uses options to ensure a minimum price for its exports. q The country’s oil hedging programme is the largest of its kind in commodity markets, creating significant downward pressure on futures prices. q This year’s trades took place over the past four weeks as oil prices climbed to more than $115 per barrel. – “The price was high and volatility was low by historical standards so the moment was right” q The fees paid for the investment banks ranged from $750 m to $1. 2 bn in recent years.

Once you write a contract - which may require a large payment decades later - you are usually stuck with it. q. . . the macro picture is dangerous. Large amounts of risk …concentrated in the hands of relatively few derivatives dealers. q had [the Fed] not intervened, …the LTCM could well have posed a serious threat to the stability of American markets. q The derivatives genie is now well out of the bottle. …derivatives are financial weapons of mass destruction, carrying dangers that, while now latent, are potentially lethal.
