Contract modifications and the basis behaviour of live cattle futures
Article Abstract:
The Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) made adjustments for non-par cattle large, in June 1995, so that under normal market conditions, delivery on the futures contract would not be an economic alternative for marketing cattle. To determine which method provides a better representation of the basis level an alternative method of basis calculation utilizing weighted mean futures prices versus settlement futures prices was compared.
