7. trading hours. Trading hours are listed in terms of the local times for the given exchange.
|
||||
(all U.s. exchanges are currently located in either the eastern or Central time zones.)
|
||||
8. Daily price limit. exchanges normally specify a maximum amount by which the contract
|
||||
price can change on a given day. For example, if the December corn contract closed at $4.10 on
|
||||
the previous day, and the daily price limit is 25¢/bu, corn cannot trade above $4.35 or below
|
||||
$3.85.
|
||||
some markets employ formulas for increasing the daily limit after a specified number of
|
||||
consecutive limit days.
|
||||
in cases in which free market forces would normally seek an equilibrium price outside the
|
||||
range boundaries implied by the limit, the market will simply move to the limit and virtually
|
||||
cease to trade. For example, if after the market close the U.
|
||||
s. Department of agriculture (UsDa)
|
||||
releases a very bullish corn crop production estimate, which hypothetically would result in an
|
||||
immediate 30¢/bu price rise in an unrestricted market, prices will be locked limit up (25¢/bu) the
|
||||
next day. This means that the market will open and stay at the limit, with virtually no trading tak-
|
||||
ing place. The reason for the absence of trading activity is that the limit rule restriction maintains
|
||||
an artificially low price, leading to a deluge of buy orders at that price but few if any sell orders.
|
||||
in the case of a very severe surprise event (e.g., sudden major crop damage), a market
|
||||
could move several limits in succession, although such moves are less common than in the days
|
||||
before near-24-hour electronic trading.
|
||||
in such situations, traders on the wrong side of the
|
||||
fence might not be able to liquidate their positions until the market trades freely. The new trader
|
||||
should be aware of, but not be overly frightened by, this possibility, since such events of extreme
|
||||
volatility rarely come as a complete surprise.
|
||||
in most cases, markets vulnerable to such volatile
|
||||
price action can be identified. some examples of such markets would include commodities in
|
||||
which the UsDa is scheduled to release a major report, coffee or frozen concentrated orange
|
||||
juice during their respective freeze seasons, and markets that have exhibited recent extreme
|
||||
trading volatility. For some markets, the limit on the nearby contract is removed at some point
