6. On August 31, 2022, you would like to hedge a long physical oil position that you plan to sell on November 23, 2022. Rather than directly hedge using May Crude Oil futures contracts that have a delivery date close to November 23, 2022, you wish to use a rolling hedge to take advantage of the market liquidity in the short-term Crude Oil futures contracts. On August 31, 2022, you short an October 2022 Crude Oil futures contract. You then roll into the November 2022 futures contract on September 28, 2022 and then roll again into the December 2022 futures contract on October 26, 2022. Your physical oil transaction takes place at the spot price of $75.15 on November 23, 2022. Calculate your gain or loss in the futures market and the net payoff from selling oil after considering both the physical and futures markets.
