Cross Market Pricing White Premium Example

 

Top  Previous  Next

If cross market pricing has been configured, additional tabs will appear in the price edit box. The example below uses a White Premium configuration between Sugar #5 and NY Sugar #11.  In it, Agiblocks shows the following tabs:

 

1.Price: to price against Sugar #5 (the default pricing instrument)
2.Roll: to roll pricing periods within Sugar #5, either forward or backward
3.White Premium: to price the White Premium in order to roll the pricing instrument from Sugar #5 to NY Sugar #11. (The White Premium is fixed and will be added to the original premium.)
4.Price NY Sugar #11 White: it is also possible to fix the target rolling instrument first (e.g. NY Sugar #11 White); White Premium will then will become fixed.

Effectively pricing the White Premium rolls the remaining pricing to NY Sugar #11 and vice versa - pricing the NY Sugar #11 rolls the remaining pricing to White Premium.

 

When pricing a White Premium you need to enter:

The trade date (by default today,  though the system allows selecting a few days back)
Which period in the NY Sugar #11 is used (by default the nearest period)
How many lots are involved (by default all lots that are still to be fixed)
The agreed White Premium price (no default value)

 

After applying the NY Sugar #11 pricing the screen will end up like this:

Selecting the Still to be fixed line will bring up the White Premium entry dialog:

Once the White Premium part is priced (in a similar fashion) the subset becomes completely fixed:
