How to Spread Bet on Unleaded Gasoline? |
As with a wide variety of global markets, you can speculate on commodity markets, like Unleaded Gasoline, to go up or down.
If you were to look at the Inter Trader platform, they are giving the Unleaded Gasoline June Futures market at $3.1220 - $3.1250. As a result, you can spread trade on Unleaded Gasoline:
 Settling above $3.1250, or
 Settling below $3.1220
On the closing date for this 'June' market, 30-May-12.
When spread betting on Unleaded Gasoline you trade in £x per $0.0001. Therefore, if you invested £3 per $0.0001 and Unleaded Gasoline moves $0.0023 then there would be a difference to your profit/loss of £69. £3 per $0.0001 x $0.0023 = £69.
Unleaded Gasoline Futures - Commodity Spread Betting Example |
Now, if we consider the above spread of $3.1220 - $3.1250 and make the assumptions:
- you've done your analysis of the futures market, and
- you feel that the Unleaded Gasoline market will settle higher than $3.1250 by 30-May-12
then you might go long of the market at $3.1250 and risk, for example, £2 per $0.0001.
With such a spread bet you win £2 for every $0.0001 that Unleaded Gasoline pushes above $3.1250. However, it also means that you will lose £2 for every $0.0001 that the Unleaded Gasoline market falls lower than $3.1250.
Thinking of this in a slightly different way, if you buy a spread bet then your profits (or losses) are worked out by taking the difference between the final price of the market and the price you bought the spread at. You then multiply that price difference by the stake.
With that in mind, if, on the expiry date, Unleaded Gasoline settled at $3.1328, then:
Profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($3.1328 - $3.1250) x £2 per $0.0001
Profit / loss = $0.0078 x £2 per $0.0001
Profit / loss = £156 profit
Spread betting on commodity markets is not always easy. In this example, you had bet that the futures market would increase. Of course, the commodity could go down.
If Unleaded Gasoline fell, closing at $3.1180, then this means you would end up losing this spread bet.
Profit / loss = (Final Price - Initial Price) x stake
Profit / loss = ($3.1180 - $3.1250) x £2 per $0.0001
Profit / loss = -$0.0070 x £2 per $0.0001
Profit / loss = -£140 loss
Note: Unleaded Gasoline June Futures market correct as of 26-Apr-12.
