Does that imply that you are betting/thinking that gilts will be higher than 123.79 in June?

Mark Wadsworth said...

Nope. I have sold, ergo I think that the gilt future will be lower than 12.79 some time between 8 am this morning and the delivery date some time in June.

So what happens if it's not?

Mark Wadsworth said...

Then I lose money.

AntiCitizenOne said...

How much?

£1,000 profit for every full point it falls and vice versa.
