Case Study of December 2007 Futures and Options

Graph of December 2005 futures vs. December 55-cent put and call option premiums

Discussion

This graph shows daily settlement prices for Dec. 07 futures from about fourteen months out through expiration. The blue and pink lines show the premium value associated with 60-cent put and call options, respectively. This year saw harvest futures prices trading in a higher level than either Dec05 or Dec06. This pattern provided more realistic hedging opportunities.
