Future, as the name indicates, is a trade whose


settlement is going to take place in the future. However, before we take a look at futures, it will be beneficial for us to take a look at forward rate agreements

A forward rate agreement is one in which a buyer and


a seller enter into a

contract at a specified quantity of an asset at a


specified price on a specified

date.

There are two kinds of futures traded in the


market- index futures and stock futures. There are three types of futures, based on the tenure. They are 1, 2 or 3 month future. They are also known as near and far futures depending on the tenure.

Spot Price: The current market price of the scrip/index Future Price: The price at which the futures contract trades in the futures market Tenure: The period for which the future is traded Expiry date: The date on which the futures contract will be

settlec

Basis : The difference between the spot price and the future price

Future price is nothing but the current market price plus the interest cost for the tenure of the future. This interest cost of the future is called as cost of carry. If F is the future price, S is the spot price and C is the cost of carry or opportunity cost, then F=S+C F = S + Interest cost, since cost of carry for a finance is the interest cost Thus, F=S (1+r)T Where r is the rate of interest and T is the tenure of the futures contract.

If

a futures contract is not closed out before maturity, it is usually settled by delivering the assets underlying the contract. When there are alternatives about what is delivered, where it is delivered, and when it is delivered, the party with the short position chooses. A few contracts (for example, those on stock indices and Eurodollars) are settled in cash
