Rho and Time
|
||||
The time component of interest has a big impact on the magnitude of an
|
||||
option’s rho, because the greater the number of days until expiration, the
|
||||
greater the interest. Long-term options will be more sensitive to changes in
|
||||
the interest rate and, therefore, have a higher rho.
|
||||
Take a stock trading at about $120 per share. The July, October, and
|
||||
January ATM calls have the following rhos with the interest rate at 5.5
|
||||
percent.
|
||||
Option Rho
|
||||
July (38-day) 120 calls+0.068
|
||||
October (130-day) 120 calls+0.226
|
||||
January (221-day) 120 calls+0.385
|
||||
If interest rates rise 25 basis points, or a quarter of a percentage point, the
|
||||
July calls with only 38 days until expiration will gain very little: only
|
||||
$0.017 (0.068 × 0.25). The October 120 calls with 130 days until expiration
|
||||
gain more: $0.057 (0.226 × 0.25). The January calls that have 221 days
|
||||
until they expire make $0.096 theoretically (0.385 × 0.25). If all else is held
|
||||
constant, the more time to expiration, the higher the option’s rho, and
|
||||
therefore, the more interest will affect the option’s value.
