    Can anyone tell me why we use futures price to calculate gain from Interest rate Options ?
    For ex: We got a Put Option
    Strike Price: 96 (4%)

    Market rate at the time of borrowing: 7% (93)
    Say, futures rate at the time of borrowing = 93.5 (6.5%)

    Here, instead of calculating Gain from Option by 7% – 4% = 3 % we actually calculate it by (futures price) 6.5% – 4% = 2.5%
    Why are we doing this?

    If you watch my free lectures on the management of interest rate risk, you will find it is explained in detail.
