Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The paper aims to study the market efficiency, unbiasedness among seventeen agricultural commodities futures contracts traded at National Multi-Commodity Exchange of India ltd. (NMCE). The paper uses a two step approach by first testing long run relationship using Johansen's cointegration approach and subsequently, the dynamic OLS approach proposed by Stock and Watson (1993) was used to estimate the coefficients in the cointegration equation, followed by Wald test to test the statistical significance of each coefficient. The Wald chi-square test statistics indicate that futures markets are not efficient in predicting the future ready prices. The results also testify the fact that the futures contracts are not perfect hedge against the variations in ready prices. The results have important implications on the previous research done on the same issue which have simply tested the efficiency on the basis of cointegration results, ignoring the restrictions on cointegrating vectors may result in incorrect assessment of price discovery and risk management functions of commodity exchanges. Further, the results also urge for further reforms in the agricultural commodity futures through increasing awareness, wider participation, better infrastructure etc. so as to make futures market more efficient in the long run and perform their role of price discovery and risk management more efficiently and effectively.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Funding risk, which caused the $1.3 billion derivatives-related loss at MG Refining & Marketing, Inc. in 1993, has long been overlooked in the risk management literature. The key to understanding funding risk is that, as futures hedging practice requires substantial infusions of cash to meet variation margin calls, the maximum margin required may occur well before the expiration of the futures contract, but must be met in order to maintain the futures positions. This paper approaches the question of how to properly measure the "funding risk" of commodity futures positions by estimating a CD-Vine copula model for the dependence of corn, soybean and wheat futures at multiple forecast intervals, using Harrison’s method and the Extreme Value Theory to calibrate the distribution of the maximum. This is the first attempt in the literature to model the extreme prices of futures contracts over a given time period in an agricultural commodity portfolio context. The adoption of the recently-developed CD-Vine copula model allows one to model the dependence structure in a more flexible manner than the previous standard multivariate models based on Gaussian or Student’s t distributions.

Download or read book Agricultural Supply Chains and the Challenge of Price Risk written by John Williams and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-12-04 with total page 316 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the issues of integration within food and fibre supply chains and the challenges in managing price risk. The problems of integration and price risk are interwoven in agricultural supply chains with production and supply risk as well as hoarding. However, without supply chain integration through commercial trade markets there can be no forward market upon which forward transactions and the management of price risk can be based. Without a forward market that can reduce opportunistic behaviour, there is likely to be little security of supply, particularly under high production risk and price uncertainty. Whilst price risk management is possible under certain circumstances, there are many factors that can prevent the development of forward markets or cause them to collapse, thus undermining the ability to manage price risk within acceptable risk and return parameters. Market positions therefore need to be valued and often settled daily due to the risk of contract default. In addition, the issue of currency risk and its management applies to international market positions and transactional exposures. The book analyses a range of price risk management strategies from forward contracting through to futures and options hedging, and finally to over-the-counter products. Evaluation techniques are developed to aid decision-making. The author concludes that forward market development may be the exception rather than the norm, and that whilst favourable price risk management outcomes may be possible, they can sometimes be caused more by luck than through good management. It is shown how tactics are an important consideration in decision-making to minimize costs and losses.
