In Reference to R20.P1.T3.FIN_PRODS_McDonald_Ch6_Topic:Strip Hedges:-
Hi,
For Stack Hedges, BT notes state that
"If the forward curve gets steeper, the stack hedger may lose. On the other hand, if the forward curve flattens, then the stack hedger gains because he/she has locked in the commodity at a relatively lower price."
Question:- Does the same statement above apply for the Strip Hedge as well..? Or is it the reverse for Strip Hedges as we have already locked in the prices for all the sequential Forward Contracts and are not rolling forward like the Stack and re-establishing the Contract price..?
