First of all, in the domestic stock index futures at this stage, the single contract of IC is basically more expensive. Because the price of a single contract is too expensive (generally speaking, the market value of an IC contract is more than 6.5438+0.5 million yuan, which exceeds the IF contract of CSI 300), the price of the corresponding CSI 500 index is gradually rising, and the unit price of IC is higher. However, no matter how expensive the price of IC is, it can only reflect investors' recognition of IC in the futures market, and its discount often reflects investors' expectation of its subsequent price.
Secondly, the number of points in a single IC contract is 200, that is, investors buy or sell an IC contract, and the corresponding amount is 200 times the absolute value of the IC index. No matter how expensive the contract is, investors can buy it 200 times, but the price of a single contract is not high. These are the professional qualifications of investors. So there will be a certain discount here. Third, IC contracts may be the specialty of investors, especially the professional field of futures investors. Although these investors have their advantages, this advantage will not cause difficulties in pricing. The advantages of IC contracts are those fixed income and products. The discount of CSI 500 index of IC contract is these shortcomings, which investors can't understand, or investors can't realize the discount attribute of IC.
On the one hand, investors see an IC contract on the trading software, which is 865 times of the contract, and it has certain poverty alleviation work attributes here. This attribute also makes the discount of IC contract increase with the decline. After all, it is difficult for investors to close their positions in the process of falling, and this discount is the price compensation for closing their positions.
