Futures curves II
[Voiceover] I want to use this video to try to get a better intuition for futures curves and in particular to understand that the futures curves shows a snapshot in time of the different market prices for the,발음듣기
essentially the delivery price at different future dates and when I say that, I know it was a kind of confusing statement.발음듣기
In this futures curve right over here, when you have a delivery date that's 0 months from now, that's essentially today, that's the market price.발음듣기
So if you were to go out and buy silver today, it would cost you roughly $32, let me say that this is per ounce.발음듣기
I'm talking about the price today in the market, if you were to agree to buy or sell silver in a month.발음듣기
If today you agree to transact in silver a month from now, you would transact, you would buy or sell, it looks at around $33 an ounce.발음듣기
If today you were to agree to buy or sell silver four months from now, you would do it at $35 an ounce.발음듣기
If today, I don't want to be redundant, but if today you were to agree buy or sell silver eight months from now and you were to lock in the price, you would lock in a price, it looks it about I don't know, $36 an ounce.발음듣기
So this is really a snapshot in time and if for example, let's say tomorrow, the price of silver,발음듣기
there's this huge silver shortage or people realize a new application for silver that can change the world then what you would have tomorrow is that this whole curve would probably shift up.발음듣기
The whole curve would shift up something like that, so no matter when you decide to actually transact in the silver, it'll actually get more expensive but I want to make it very clear that this is just a snapshot in time and to better understand that,발음듣기
I've also drawn over here how the prices can move it over time and I've drawn different durations.발음듣기
So this is the spot price today and over here, this is the spot price today but then I've shown how it changes in time.발음듣기
This just tells us that look, the stock price started at $32 and went up a little bit, went down a little bit.발음듣기
So the spot price just moves around and let's just take this green contract right over here.발음듣기
So when we start on the first day, the green contract, if you agree to transact in silver four months from now, you're agreeing to transact at about $34.발음듣기
So that's where you would transact right now, that four month out contract, but as you move few - as you move more and more forward in time, you're getting closer and closer to that delivery date.발음듣기
If you move one month into the future, now that contract is only going to be three months out.발음듣기
All the way until, if you move four months out, this contract will now be essentially the spot price because you're now agreeing to transact now.발음듣기
That'll happen four months from now, but you'll now be agreeing to transact at that moment and so at that moment, that price should be the same as the spot price,발음듣기
