Question:
Using the data from the oil futures used in homework answer the following questions: please provide your MATLAB code and results Using the daily data on crude oil futures prices, try to price American options with month and month time to maturity on crude oil futures using and step binomial trees. Do the same practice to price European options on crude oil futures using binomial trees. Repeat the pricing of European options on crude oil futures using Black model. Do you need to repeat the pricing of both put options and call options? Hint: what do we know about the relationship between the prices of American and European calls? What is the trend in prices, using binomial trees, when you increase the number of steps from to Do you think the price you got from binomial trees converges to Blacks prices when you increase the number of steps? Plot the timeseries of the prices of each type of options through time. Calculate the Delta of options using both Black model and binomial trees. Plot the timeseries of Delta of the options. Using the Delta from Black model and the futures data, form a DeltaNeutral portfolio of options and futures at each day. Hint: you need to have a portfolio consisting of unit of futures contract and X unit of options contract. You should solve for X to achieve the goal of DeltaNeutrality Plot the timeseries of the value of the delta neutral portfolio through time.
