The forward pricing function of the shipping freight futures market
Article Abstract:
A study has been conducted to investigate the possible trend of futures contract price during trading in the futures and forward markets. The unbiased expectations hypothesis contends that the price of a futures contract, prior to maturity, can be an unbiased predictor of the spot price on the maturity day of the contract. Based on the findings of the study, market participants can take advantage by receiving accurate signals from futures prices to be used when making market decisions.
