Liquidity Trap
A Liquidity Trap is an economic event where the general public stashes cash in their bank savings account instead of investing in bonds because of the assumption that a rise in interest rates is imminent, even though interest rates are low.
Cheapest To Deliver
Cheapest to deliver (CTD) refers to the cheapest or lowest priced security in a futures contract that a seller can deliver to a buyer who holds a long position.
Here’s the formula to calculate the cheapest security that can be delivered:
- Short position: Current price of security + accrued interest
- Long position: Settlement price x conversion factor + accrued interest
Annual Earnings Change
An Annual Earnings Change is the difference between a company’s earnings from the present and previous fiscal year. The formula for annual earnings change is:
Current Fiscal Year Earnings - Previous Fiscal Year Earnings
Say for example a liquid nitrogen manufacturing company earned Rs. 50 crores in the current fiscal year and Rs. 29 crores in the previous fiscal year. Their annual earnings change will be:
Rs. 50 crores - Rs. 29 crores = Rs. 21 crores.
Current Fiscal Year Earnings - Previous Fiscal Year Earnings
Say for example a liquid nitrogen manufacturing company earned Rs. 50 crores in the current fiscal year and Rs. 29 crores in the previous fiscal year. Their annual earnings change will be:
Rs. 50 crores - Rs. 29 crores = Rs. 21 crores.
Basis Trading
Basis trading means futures trading strategies that use the difference between the spot price and the futures contract price of a stock or commodity.
The difference between the spot and futures prices forms the “basis” for the trading strategy. Hence the name basis trading. These are the two ways in which a trader may use the basis:
- Short the basis : Done if the price difference or basis is expected to reduce
- Long the basis :Done if the price difference or basis is expected to increase
Futures
Futures are derivative contracts that serve as an agreement and obligation between two parties to buy or sell underlying securities at a pre-agreed price and date. Underlying securities in futures can be stocks, bonds, interest rates, currencies, and commodities.
Defensive Stock
A defensive stock refers to the shares of iconic companies that generate stable and consistent returns and dividends, regardless of the market conditions.
Defensive stocks are rare because companies that have defense against every market condition are rare.
While defensive stocks may not generate high returns, they are known to add stability and defense against declining economic conditions. In India, stock of ITC Limited is an example of a defensive stock.
