Hello! Today we are going to talk about the basics of Futures and Options.
[10]
This entire series will have 5-6 parts.
[13]
Where we will explain Futures and Options to you in detail.
[16]
Futures and Options come under types of Derivatives markets.
[18]
Generally, there are four types of Derivative markets;
[21]
Forward, Futures, Options and, Swap.
[24]
We will understand all of them one by one.
[26]
First, let us understand what derivatives markets are.
[28]
Petrol and Diesel are made from Crude oil.
[31]
Therefore, Petrol and Diesel are derivatives of Crude oil.
[34]
Similarly, curd is a derivative of milk as it is, made out of milk.
[39]
So anything which is derived from something else becomes its derivative.
[44]
Similarly, there are types of markets. Cash Market and Derivative Market.
[48]
So what is Cash Market? It is the general market, where normally we
[53]
Buy or sell shares is the Cash Market.
[54]
Futures and Options generally come under the Derivative Markets.
[58]
In the Cash Market, any shares that you buy or sell, are traded on a particular day.
[62]
That means the shares are bought or sold on that particular day.
[65]
In Derivative Markets, you deal in future dates.
[68]
This means, selling or buying of commodities on a future date.
[71]
In Derivative Markets, you trade in future dates and in Cash Markets,
[76]
You trade in current dates, That's the main difference.
[80]
Another difference is that, in Cash Markets you can buy and sell any amount of shares.
[84]
For example, you can buy 1, 2, 5, or 10 shares, you can buy and sell as many as you want.
[89]
In Derivatives Market, there are 'Lots'. Particular companies have particular Lots.
[94]
You have to trade in Futures and Options in these Lots.
[96]
One more difference is that all companies in the Cash market are not in Futures and Options,
[103]
which means you can trade in any company listed on the Stock Exchange.
[107]
On the other hand, there are limited companies where you can trade in Futures and Options.
[113]
The third point is that the Derivatives market, which is mainly Futures and Options,
[117]
is used for Hedging, this means it is used for reducing risks.
[121]
We will talk about the application process for this in detail in this series.
[125]
When it comes to Stock Market, there are three types of Derivatives Markets;
[129]
Forward Market, Futures Market and Options Market.
[132]
Let's start with Forward Market. We will understand it with a hypothetical example.
[137]
Today's date is 3rd December and the rate for gold is 50,000 for 10 grams.
[142]
That means, today you can buy Ten grams of gold in 50,000.
[145]
But the problem is that you don't have 50,000 right now.
[148]
You will have the money in one month, which is the 3rd of January.
[151]
Now the problem is that you will have 50,000 money in a month,
[155]
And you think gold prices will go up in a month to 50-53k.
[163]
So, you go to a jeweller and tell him that you want to buy 10 grams of gold,
[169]
at today's price, which is 3rd December, at the cost of 50,000.
[175]
But you don't have any money right now, you will get it in a month, on 3rd January.
[181]
So can you give 10 grams of gold on 3rd January at the 3rd December price.
[185]
To which the Jeweller says no but, he knows someone in the market,
[190]
Who can give you the gold at 3rd december's price
[193]
So you go to that Jeweller and tell him that you will have the money in a month
[199]
and that on 3rd January you want to buy 10 grams of gold at 3rd December's price.
[204]
For this, the Jeweller says yes, he thinks gold prices will go down in a month.
[212]
It will come down to 47-48k. So the Jeweller thinks that,
[217]
If he sells gold after a month, at today's price, he will make a profit.
[221]
So from that point of view, it is the right deal.
[224]
So this way, you and the Jeweller makes a deal.
[227]
On 3rd January, whatever the price of gold may be, the Jeweller will give you 10 grams of gold at 50k.
[232]
So, on 3rd January you will give the Jeweller 50k and, in return, he will give 10 grams of gold.
[239]
This simple deal is at a future date, which is the 3rd of January.
[242]
You made the deal today but its execution date is 3rd January.
[246]
Now, 3rd January is here and gold prices have gone up to 52,000.
[252]
This means you were right. You thought the prices will go up and they did.
[258]
After this, you go to the Jeweller and give him 50k for 10 grams of gold.
[264]
But the Jeweller refuses. He says the prices have gone up and, he can't sell it for less.
[272]
You say to him that you had a deal and he can't back out so easily.
[277]
The Jeweller says you can do as you like but, he will not sell it for 50k.
[282]
52k is the current price and, he will sell 10 grams only at that price.
[287]
You get angry and leave.
[290]
So in the first condition, the deal was in your favour and, the Jeweller was at a loss.
[295]
That is why the Jeweller refused and, you could not profit as the deal wasn't complete.
[300]
Let's take another condition. Assume that on 3rd January Gold prices fall to 48k,
[306]
You see that your deal is at 50k and, on 3rd January the price is 48k.
[314]
You realise you have a loss of 2000, so you don't go to the Jeweller.
[318]
The Jeweller waits for you so that he can get his profit worth 2k.
[324]
Because the gold price now is 48k and the deal was for 50k for 10 gram Gold.
[331]
So in this condition, the Jeweller was at profit and, you were at a loss.
[335]
Since you were at a loss you didn't go to the Jeweller.
[339]
You thought that if the current price is 48k then, why should you pay 50k.
[343]
But this was your deal and, you didn't go, so the deal was not complete.
[349]
So the example we used was the example of Forward Market.
[352]
Where you and the Jeweller made a deal on a future date without a middleman.
[358]
So, if a party defaults, there is nobody to take any action.
[363]
Neither did you pay a deposit, nor were there any middlemen.
[370]
That is why in Forward Markets, there are chances of the counterparty defaulting.
[377]
This means they abandon the contract and leave.
[379]
Forward Markets have a lot of problems.
[382]
The first one is to look for counterparties. Like you had to look for a jeweller for this deal,
[387]
who would deal with you on a future date, finding counterparties for that is difficult,
[392]
because you have to look for such counterparties on your own.
[396]
Another problem is that the default risk is high.
[401]
This means the counterparty, the party you are dealing with, can leave the contract anytime.
[406]
The third problem is that you can't cancel the contract mid-way.
[410]
You will have to complete it. If you want to cancel the contract,
[414]
You will have to convince the counterparty to cancel the contract.
[420]
So these are the three problems with Forward Markets, that Future Markets have solved.
[424]
In Forward Markets, people leave the contract when it is not in their favour.
[429]
But this is not possible in Future Market. Neither party is allowed to leave the contract.
[436]
Similarly, the job of looking for a counterparty is done by Stock Exchange or Derivative Exchange.
[442]
Because of which it is very easy to find a counterparty in future markets.
[446]
And the third problem with the Forward Market of not being able to cancel the contract,
[450]
is possible in the Futures market. Problems in the future market are solved by Forward markets.
[457]
In the second part, we will learn the difference between Forward and Future Markets.
[460]
And how the Future market has solved all problems of the Forward market.
[467]
So in the next lecture, we will talk about Futures Markets. See you in the next part.
