HEDGING STRATEGIES

BEARISH OPTION STRATEGIES
BEAR CALL SPREAD
A Bear Call Spread is a bearish option strategy that works in the same way a Bear Put Spread does, profiting when the underlying stock drops. Establishing a Bear Call Spread involves the purchase of an Out of The Money call option on the underlying asset while simultaneously selling an In the Money or At The Money call option on the same underlying asset with the same expiration month . 
Sell ATM Call  +  Buy OTM Call
Risk / Reward of Bear Call Spread: Upside Maximum Profit is Limited , Maximum Loss is Limited 
Break Even Point of Bear Call Spread : Lower Strike + Net premium received
Bear Call Spread is a credit spread, you also make money if the underlying asset stays stagnant through the decay and expiration of the more expensive short call options.

MARKET COMMENTARY ON COMMDITIES

Market Commentary
 
Oil Trades Near Highest in Four Months on Colder Weather.
Oil traded near the highest level in almost four months in New York before reports that may show the economy recovering in the U.S. and as lower temperatures buoy demand for heating fuels. West Texas Intermediate was little changed after climbing 0.6 percent yesterday. The U.S. East Coast and Midwest will be 5 degrees Fahrenheit (2.8 Celsius) below normal from Jan. 19 to Jan. 23, according to Commodity Weather Group LLC in Bethesda, Maryland. Retail sales probably rose for a second month in December. “Colder weather is helping the energy complex,” said Andrey Kryuchenkov, an analyst at VTB Capital in London, who predicts WTI may remain capped at about $95.60 a barrel. “The global oil market looks evenly balanced.” Crude for February delivery was at $93.70 a barrel, down 44 cents, in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract increased to $94.14 yesterday, the highest settlement since Sept. 18. Prices dropped 7.1 percent last year.


Gold Forecasters Splitting on Peak for Bull Market.
Danske Bank A/S and Credit Suisse Group AG, the most-accurate gold forecasters, say prices will probably peak this year while their nearest rival, UniCredit SpA, sees no end in sight to the 12-year bull market. Gold will average $1,720 an ounce this year and $1,600 in 2014, said Christin Tuxen of Danske Bank in Copenhagen, who came closest to predicting moves in the past eight quarters. Tom Kendall at Credit Suisse in London expects $1,740 and $1,720 and Jochen Hitzfeld of UniCredit in Munich predicts $1,700 and $1,800. Bullion rose more than sixfold since the bull market began in 2001. All three forecast record average prices this year because central-bank stimulus will sustain buying as a hedge against inflation and currency devaluation. Danske and Credit Suisse predict lower prices in 2014 as economic growth curbs demand for the metal as a protector of wealth while UniCredit says record- low interest rates will maintain gold’s allure.


Copper Falls to 2-Week Low After Rio’s Beats Forecasts.
Copper fell for a third day in New York on concern the euro-region debt crisis is sapping the economy in Germany, the world’s third-biggest user of the metal. Growth in gross domestic product slowed to 0.7 percent last year from 3 percent in 2011, Germany’s statistics office said today. Prices also slid after Rio Tinto Group’s production of mined copper topped analyst estimates, indicating ample supply. “Obviously it’s slightly bad news for Europe, as Germany is what’s dragging the European economy at the moment,” Christin Tuxen, an analyst at Danske Bank A/S in Copenhagen, said by phone today, referring to the German GDP figures. Copper for delivery in March dropped 0.4 percent to $3.621 a pound on the Comex in New York. Prices reached $3.614, the lowest level since Dec. 31. Copper for delivery in three months fell 0.5 percent to $7,964 a metric ton on the London Metal Exchange. “Metal markets will be much more focused on what comes out of China” this week, Tuxen said. Figures due Jan. 18 may show GDP growth strengthened in the fourth quarter and industrial production was little changed last month in the country, the world’s biggest copper consumer, according to analysts.

Good news for steel sector

Metallica
Cost push help steel prices gaining
During the last fortnight (ending 14th Jan’13) steel prices saw a good jump after a long consolidation. Iron ore prices on the other hand continued to rise
·      The CIS Black Sea (fob) export HRC prices gained 9% to US$580/ tonne. Domestic prices in China rose by 3.3% during the same period to US$652/tonne. In India long product prices saw some improvement, while flat product prices remained steady
·      Iron ore prices continued their upward movement on due to higher imports from China , as port inventory fell recently towards 72 mt. The 62% and 58% Fe grade iron ore prices jumped 7% and 8% to US$154.6/tonne and US$145.7/tonne respectively
Believe, improvement in steel prices is due to cost push rather than demand pull, as iron ore prices continued to soar. We would like to wait and watch whether steel prices can sustain their recent gains.
Base metals during the last fortnight remained quiet and ended flat on a fortnightly basis
·      Copper and aluminium gained 1% each to US$8030/tonne and US$2063/tonne respectively while zinc and lead LME lost 2% and 1% to close at US$1996/tonne and US$2305/tonne respectively. USD index remained stable at 79.5
Believe, USD index would play a major role in deciding the base metals price direction in the near term
