B. When the asset price is positively correlated with interest rate, the futures price tends to be higher than the forward price.
C. The futures price and forward price are always the same, because if they are different, arbitrageurs can lock in a riskless profit by entering offsetting transactions in the two markets.
D. In the case of interest rate contracts, forward rate can be obtained from Eurodollar futures rate by using convexity adjustment. The amount of adjustment is proportional to the volatility of the rate and inversely proportional to the time to maturity of the contract. |
