โฆ Synopsis
If the cost-of-carry relationship holds, then (A3) is consistent with the assumption that the spot price of the underlying commodity also follows a stochastic differential equation given by:
where p = a -( ra), r = riskless interest rate, and 6 represents the dividend yield (or its analog) on the spot commodity. In the case of T-Bond and T-Note futures, the basic cost-of-carry relationship is further complicated by the presence of delivery options which include quality and timing options. [See Boyle (1989) for details.] Therefore, the stochastic differential equation for the price of the spot commodity will be more complex than eq. (2) and cannot be specified easily.
