You believe the decline in rates is over, and you are interested in speculating on a rise in rates. You are, however, unwilling to as- sume much risk, so you decide to do an intra- market spread. Use the following information to construct a T-bond futures spread on July 15, and determine the profit when the position is closed on November 15.10 sale rch the investor owns 100,000 shares of the stock. Set up a transaction by determining the appropriate number of futures contracts.
