Hi,
I am really struggling to work out the rule of unexpired basis risk when working out the closing future rate for both Interest/Currency Futures.
I think it looks like - (date wen funds are received/paid to the futures loan start date) / (todays date to loan term future)
Ie - if today is 1 Jan, we borrow the funds on 1 May to repay in 9 months time. If we select the June Future then the unexpired basis risk is
2 (May to end of June) / 6 (Jan to June)
Is this correct or can you explain a general rule ?
Thanks
James
Ask the Tutor ACCA AFM
Unexpired Basis
I do explain the general rule in my free lectures on both foreign exchange risk management and interest rate risk management.
Hi - I did watch them but still a bit unclear, Thanks
