Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Put-call parity is used to study the early exercise premium for currency options traded on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. Using 564 pairs of call and put options evidence is provided that the early exercise premia is on average 5.71% for put options and 6.88% for call options. The premiums for both call and put options are strongly related to time to maturity and the interest rate differential. These results are important when using a European option pricing model for the valuation of American options.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 16 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The European put-call parity condition is used to estimate the early exercise premium for American currency options traded on the Philadelphia Stock Exchange. Using a sample of 331 pairs of call and put options with the same exercise price and time to expiration, evidence is provided for early exercise premiums that average 5.03% for put options and 4.60% for call options. The premiums for both call and put options are strongly related to the interest rate differential and time to expiration. These results have implications for the use of European option pricing models in the valuation of American options.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Previous studies on American options have shown that European style models do not reflect early exercise premium (EEP). This project expands on the Poitras, Veld and Zabolotnyuk (2006) paper which applies the put-call parity method to currency options data from American options traded at PHLX for EEP. We define a wider range for in-the moneyness and use a rolling volatility for the volatility parameter. We estimate the early exercise premium as a percentage of option price (REEP) for calls and puts to be 7.329%, 6.122%, respectively. We then regress the REEP against moneyness, interest differentials, and time to maturity and volatility. Our results show that REEP is strongly and positively correlated with interest rate differentials and time to maturity. The effect of moneyness is less apparent. The effect of volatility on REEPs of put options is significantly negative, which coincides with the results of Poitras, Veld and Zabolotnyuk (2006).

Download or read book The Early Exercise Premium in American Put Option Prices written by Malin Engstrom and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study estimates the value of the early exercise premium in American put option prices using Swedish equity options data. The value of the premium is found as the deviation of the American put price from European put-call parity, and in addition a theoretical estimate of the premium is computed. The empirically found premium is also used in a modified version of the control variate approach to value American puts. The results indicate a substantial value of the early exercise premium, where the premium derived from put-call parity is higher than the theoretical premium. The premium also increases with moneyness and time left to expiration, while the effect of interest rate and volatility depends on the moneyness of the option. The modified control variate technique works reasonably well relative the theoretical models. In particular, for deep in-the-money options, this technique is superior.

Download or read book Early Exercise of Foreign Currency Options written by Frank J. Fabozzi and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 18 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Roll [JFE 1977] demonstrates that the probability of early exercise of equity call options is low for small dividend payouts. Geske and Shastri [JBF 1985] show that unless dividends are small, put equity options would not be exercised early. Subsequently, Shastri and Tandon [JFM 1986] argue that the probability of early exercise of foreign currency options is small since foreign interest rates are analogous to a continuous dividend payout. Based on this observation, they conclude that a European model is well-suited for pricing American foreign currency options, unless the foreign interest rate is unusually high/low for call/put options. This conclusion is supported by the observation that pricing errors of a European option model are insignificant. Our study compares the Barone-Adesi-Whaley [BA-W; JF 1987] American option-pricing model with the Garman-Kohihagen [JIMF 1983] and Grabbe [JIMF 1983] European model and tests the conditions under which foreign exchange options convey opportunities to profit from premature exercise. Our results demonstrate the following. (1) The BA-W model is only advantageous in pricing out-of-the-money, long-term options. (2) The probability of gainful early exercise of puts is more sensitive than that of calls to the interest rate differential, time to maturity, and volatility. (3) The critical spot rate in the BA-W model is based on the probability of gainful early exercise on a given date, not after that date. Based on this criterion, we find a large number of opportunities for early exercise among in-the-money options maturing in less than 45 days.

Download or read book Probabilities and Values of Early Exercise written by James N. Bodurtha and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This article analyzes fundamental differences between American spot and futures options. These options differ in their early exercise probabilities and values, and in option buyers' exercise behavior. We find two key results: one theoretical and one empirical. First, unlike spot options, some futures options' early exercise probabilities and values do not correspond. Specifically, increased volatility raises the early exercise premium for in-the-money futures calls, but lowers the associated early exercise probability. Similarly, increasing the domestic interest rate raises the futures put early exercise premium, while lowering the associated early exercise probability. Second, observed early exercise experience of Philadelphia Stock Exchange spot options and Chicago Mercantile Exchange futures options is consistent with optimal early exercise behavior prescribed by a standard American option pricing model. Both types of option exercise events occur at or near the modeled early exercise boundaries.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is well known that foreign exchange is the world's largest financial market. What is less well known is that the market for currency options and other derivatives on foreign exchange is also massive and still growing. This book has been written for end users of currency options and newcomers to the field of foreign exchange. It employs the real-world terminology of the foreign exchange market whenever possible so that readers can make a smooth transition from the text to actual market practice. The opening chapters present a substantive discussion of the spot and forward foreign exchange market and the mechanics of trading currency options. Next, attention turns to the pervasive Black-Scholes-Merton option pricing model as applied to currency options. An examination of currency futures options follows. The final chapters are devoted to exotic currency options, with special attention given to a variety of barrier currency options. Average rate, compound, basket, and quantos currency options are also covered. Options on Foreign Exchange, Second Edition is written for traders, corporate treasurers, risk managers, and students of financial markets.
