Forward contracts by Samuel Domian and Andrej Husár MPA1

Explained:  delivery price  forward  forward contract  forward curve  forward price

What is a forward contract?  A forward contract—or forward—is an OTC derivative. In its simplest form, it is a trade that is agreed to at one point in time but will take place at some later time.

Example of a forward contract  Two parties might agree today to exchange 500,000 barrels of crude oil for USD a barrel three months from today.

Variables of a forward contract(1/2)  the underlier,  the notional amount n,  the delivery price k, and  the settlement date on which the underlier and payment will be exchanged.

Variables of a forward contract(2/2)  The party who receives the underlier is said to be long the forward. The other party is short.  At settlement, the forward has a market value given by: n(s – k)

Payoff of a Long or Short Forward  Exhibit 1 Forwards have linear payoffs.  Graphs depict the profit or loss from holding a forward as a function of underlier value at settlement.

Example  Suppose the forward in our oil example were cash- settled. On the settlement date three months from today, no oil would change hands, and there would be no payment of USD 21.04MM. If the spot price at settlement were, say, USD 47.36, then the forward would settle with a single payment of made by the short party to the long party. 500,000(47.36 – 42.08) = USD 2.64MM

Forward prices  Forward prices fluctuate with market conditions. When a forward is entered into, the contract's delivery price is set equal to the quoted forward price. That delivery price then remains fixed until the forward settles

Forward prices(example)  A dealer might quote a three-month oil forward at 41.25/ Those are the bid and offer forward prices. If a counterparty accepts the offer price for 500,000 barrels, then the delivery price on that contract will be USD

Forward curve  a graph of forward prices for different maturities,  forward prices diverge from spot prices, relevant factors vary from one market to the next
