But the change makes sense intuitively, too, when a call is considered as a
|
||||
cheaper substitute for owning the stock. For example, compare a $100 stock
|
||||
with a three-month 60-strike call on that same stock. Being so far ITM,
|
||||
there would likely be no time value in the call. If the call can be purchased
|
||||
at parity, which alternative would be a superior investment, the call for $40
|
||||
or the stock for $100? Certainly, the call would be. It costs less than half as
|
||||
much as the stock but has the same reward potential; and the $60 not spent
|
||||
on the stock can be invested in an interest-bearing account. This interest
|
||||
advantage adds value to the call. Raising the interest rate increases this
|
||||
value, and lowering it decreases the interest component of the value of the
|
||||
call.
|
||||
A similar concept holds for puts. Professional traders often get a short-
|
||||
stock rebate on proceeds from a short-stock sale. This is simply interest
|
||||
earned on the capital received when the stock is shorted. Is it better to pay
|
||||
interest on the price of a put for a position that gives short exposure or to
|
||||
receive interest on the credit from shorting the stock? There is an interest
|
||||
disadvantage to owning the put. Therefore, a rise in interest rates devalues
|
||||
puts.
|
||||
This interest effect becomes evident when comparing ATM call and put
|
||||
prices. For example, with interest at 5 percent, three-month options on an
|
||||
$80 stock that pays a $0.25 dividend before option expiration might look
|
||||
something like this:
|
||||
The ATM call is higher in theoretical value than the ATM put by $0.75.
|
||||
That amount can be justified using put-call parity:
|
||||
(Here, simple interest of $1 is calculated as 80 × 0.05 × [90 / 360] = 1.)
|
||||
Changes in market conditions are kept in line by the put-call parity. For
|
||||
example, if the price of the call rises because of an increase in IV, the price
|
||||
of the put will rise in step. If the interest rate rises by a quarter of a
|
||||
percentage point, from 5 percent to 5.25 percent, the interest calculated for
|
||||
three months on the 80-strike will increase from $1 to $1.05, causing the
