- Let’s say a CBOT 10-year U.S. Treasury note futures contract has a quoted price of 103-18. If annual interest rates go up by 1.00 percentage point, what is the gain or loss on the futures contract? (Assume a $1,000 par value, round the new interest rate to 3 decimal places when written as a decimal, and round the change in price up to the nearest whole dollar.)the multiplier of a futures contract on the stock market index is $250. The maturity of the contract is one year. The current level of the index is 2550 , and the risk free interest rate is .0% per month. The dividend yield on the index is .2% per month.
