Currency Derivatives Pricing for Markov-Modulated Merton Jump-Diffusion Spot Forex Rate
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive results similar to Bo et al. (2010), but in the case of dynamics of the FX rate driven by a general Merton jump-diffusion process. The main results of our paper are as follows: 1) formulas for the Esscher transform parameters which ensure that the martingale condition for the discounted foreign exchange rate is a martingale for a general Merton jump-diffusion process are derived; using the values of these parameters we proceed to a risk-neural measure and provide new formulas for the distribution of jumps, the mean jump size, and the Poisson Process intensity with respect to the measure; pricing formulas for European foreign exchange call options have been given as well; 2) obtained formulas are applied to the case of the exponential processes; 3) numerical simulations of European call foreign exchange option prices for different parameters are also provided.

Derivatives are alternative financial instruments which extend traders opportunities to achieve some financial goals. They are risk management instruments that are related to a data in the future, and also they react to uncertain prices. Study on pricing futures can provide useful tools to understand the stochastic behavior of prices to manage the risk of price volatility. Thus, this study eval...
متن کاملPricing of Commodity Futures Contract by Using of Spot Price Jump-Diffusion Process
Futures contract is one of the most important derivatives that is used in financial markets in all over the world to buy or sell an asset or commodity in the future. Pricing of this tool depends on expected price of asset or commodity at the maturity date. According to this, theoretical futures pricing models try to find this expected price in order to use in the futures contract. So in this ar...

In this paper, we try to solve the valuation of currency option in financial engineering. We use a generalized jump-diffusion system to describe the spot Foreign Exchange (FX) rate and apply regime switching model to describe the domestic and foreign risk-free interest rate and the appreciation rate and the volatility. And the regime switching model is based on a continuous time finite state Ma...

In this study, we model the long-term and dynamic relationships between spot oil and exchange rates and gas prices by applying the Markov switching vector self-regression model in three regional gas markets in USA, Europe and Asia. Price behavior is analyzed using Bayesian estimation to take into account the transition from an existing relationship and the delayed and recurring effects of pric...
متن کاملPricing forward starting options under regime switching jump diffusion models
Abstract: This paper studies the pricing of forward starting options under regime switching jump diffusion models. We suppose that a market economy has only two states, one is a stable state, the other is a high volatility state. The dynamics of a risky asset is modeled by a geometry Brownian motion when the market state is stable, otherwise, it follows a jump diffusion model. We propose two ty...
