21. HEDGING
Hedging means reducing or controlling risk. This
is done by taking a position in the Futures
Market that is opposite to the one in the physical
market with the objective of reducing or limiting
risks associated with price changes.
22. CONTINUED…
Hedging is a two-step process. A gain or
loss in the cash position due to changes in
price levels will be countered by changes in
the value of a futures position. For
instance, a wheat farmer can sell wheat
futures to protect the value of his crop prior
to harvest. If there is a fall in price, the loss
in the cash market position will be
countered by a gain in futures position.
23. FUTURES
A contractual agreement, generally made
on the trading floor of a futures
exchange, to buy or sell a particular
commodity or financial instrument at a pre-
determined price in the future. Futures
contracts detail the quality and quantity of
the underlying asset; they are standardized
to facilitate trading on a futures exchange.
Some futures contracts may call for
physical delivery of the asset, while others
are settled in cash.
24. OPTIONS
Options are standardized contracts that
allow investors to trade an underlying asset
at a specified price before a certain date
(the expiry date for the options).
There are two types of options: call and put
options. Call options give the buyer a right
(but not the obligation) to buy the underlying
asset at a pre-determined price before the
expiry date, while A put option gives the
option-buyer the right to sell the security.
