REGRESSION ANALYSIS
❑ Extent to which Futures prices are good estimators of spot prices ❑ Simple regression analysis Y = aX + b Y is the dependent variable and represents the spot price (CM, OM, BAN or ROB); X is the explanatory variable and represents the futures price (“C” contract or London) “a” is the slope of the regression line, indicating the strength
- f the relationship between the spot and the futures prices
“b” is a random or residual variable
