Put-call parity also aids in valuing options. If put-call parity shows a
|
||||
difference in the value of the call versus the value of the put with the same
|
||||
strike, there may be an arbitrage opportunity. That translates as “riskless
|
||||
profit.” Buying the call and selling it synthetically (short put and short
|
||||
stock) could allow a profit to be locked in if the prices are disparate.
|
||||
Arbitrageurs tend to hold synthetic put and call prices pretty close together.
|
||||
Generally, only professional traders can capture these types of profit
|
||||
opportunities, by trading big enough positions to make very small profits (a
|
||||
penny or less per contract sometimes) matter. Retail traders may be able to
|
||||
take advantage of a disparity in put and call values to some extent, however,
|
||||
by buying or selling the synthetic as a substitute for the actual option if the
|
||||
position can be established at a better price synthetically.
|
||||
Another reason that a working knowledge of put-call parity is essential is
|
||||
that it helps attain a better understanding of how changes in the interest rate
|
||||
affect option values. The greek rho measures this change. Rho is the rate of
|
||||
change in an option’s value relative to a change in the interest rate.
|
||||
Although some modeling programs may display this number differently,
|
||||
most display a rho for the call and a rho for the put, both illustrating the
|
||||
sensitivity to a one-percentage-point change in the interest rate. When the
|
||||
interest rate rises by one percentage point, the value of the call increases by
|
||||
the amount of its rho and the put decreases by the amount of its rho.
|
||||
Likewise, when the interest rate decrease by one percentage point, the value
|
||||
of the call decreases by its rho and the put increases by its rho. For example,
|
||||
a call with a rho of 0.12 will increase $0.12 in value if the interest rate used
|
||||
in the model is increased by one percentage point. Of course, interest rates
|
||||
usually don’t rise or fall one percentage point in one day. More commonly,
|
||||
rates will have incremental changes of 25 basis points. That means a call
|
||||
with a 0.12 rho will theoretically gain $0.03 given an increase of 0.25
|
||||
percentage points.
|
||||
Mathematically, this change in option value as a product of a change in
|
||||
the interest rate makes sense when looking at the formula for put-call parity.
