Assume today’s settlement price on a CME Eurodollar futures contract is $1.3140/ED. You have a short position in one contract. Your performance bond account currently has a balance of $1,700. The next three days’ settlement prices are $1.3126, $1.3133, and $1.3049.

 

In a 3 page paper, calculate the changes in the performance bond account from daily marking-to-market and the balance of the performance bond account after the third day (show your calculations).

 

How would your results change assuming you have a long position in the futures contract?
