Mark Tuminello's lesson plan for Future Hedging from Chapter 17.TRANSCRIPT

Basis = -
S1: 2.50
If the asset to be hedged and the asset underlying the futures contract are the same, the basis should be zero
Prior to expiration, the basis may be positive or negative
When the underlying asset is a stock index or low-interest-rate currency or gold or silver, the futures price is greater than the spot price; the basis is negative
For high-interest-rate currencies and many commodities, the reverse is true and the basis is positive
If spot price increases by more than the futures price; this is referred to as a strengthening of the basis
If future price increases by more than the spot price; this is referred to as a weakening of the basis
Basis Risk
In practice, hedging is often not quite as straightforward as our earlier examples indicate; reasons are as follows:
The asset whose price is to be hedged may not be exactly the same as the asset underlying the futures contract
The hedger may be uncertain as to the exact date when the asset will be bought or sold
Example: Examinimg the Basis Risk:spot at time t1
The hedge may require the futures contract to be closed out well before its expiration date
These problems give rise to what is termed basis risk:
The Basis:
Spot price of asset to be hedged Futures price of contract used

F1: 2.20
F2: 1.90
b1: (S1 - F1) 0.30
b2: (S2 - F2) 0.10
2.30 = 2.30
Profit (F1 - F2) 0.30
2.30 = 2.30Profit (F1 - F2) -0.30
spot at time t2
futures price at time t1
The effective price that is obtained for the asset with short hedging is therefore:
S2 + F1 - F2 = F1 + b2
Long Hedge: Price realizedThe effective price that is paid for the asset with long hedging is therefore:
futures price at time t2
basis at time t1
basis at time t2
Short Hedge: Price realized
S2 + F1 - F2 = F1 + b2
The hedging risk is the uncertainty associated with b2 (the basis risk)
The hedging risk is the uncertainty associated with b2 (the basis risk)
For investment assets such as currencies, stock indices, gold and silver, the basis risk tends to be less than for consumption commodities; because arbitrage arguments lead to well-defined relationship between the future price and the spot price of an investment asset

Example: Examinimg the Basis Risk in a Short Hedge (Receive 50 million Yen in July; enter Short September Futures)
spot at time t1
Short four (4) September yen futures contracts on March 1Close out contract when yen arrive at end of JulyBasis Risk: uncertainty as to the difference between the spot price and September futures price of the yen at the end of July
F1 + (S2* - F2) + (S2 - S2*)

The basis risk for an investment asset arises mainly from uncertainty as to the level of the risk-free interest rate in the future.
The asset that gives rise to the hedger's exposure is sometimes different from the asset underlying the hedge; the basis risk is usually greater.
Example: Examining the Basis Risk:spot at time t1spot at time t2
futures price at time t1
The effective price that is obtained for the asset with hedging is therefore:S2 + F1 - F2 = F1 + b2
