Black & Scholes : Rhô ρ
Issued on September 13 2011 par Strategies-options.com
Rho, like vega, doesn't exist in the Black & Scholes Model.
Interest rate is a part of what makes option prices.
The sensitivity of an option value to an interest rate variation is certainly one of the less known Greeks, and the less understood.
I - Black & Scholes Rho
If we get :
Variables
t the starting date
S the spot
Parameters
K the strike
r continuously compounded annualized interest rate
q continuously compounded annualized dividend rate
T expiry (in years)
σ the annualized volatility
For a maturity of τ = T - t ,
ρ = ∂ C / ∂ r
ρ = ∂ [ exp ( - q.τ ) . S . N( d1 ) - exp ( - r.τ ) . K . N( d2 )] / ∂ r
ρ = K . ( τ ) . exp( - r .τ ) . N(d2)
ρ = ∂ P / ∂ r
ρ = ∂ [ - exp ( - q.τ ) . S . N( - d1 ) + exp ( - r.τ ) . K . N( - d2 )] / ∂ r
ρ = - K . ( τ ) . exp( - r .τ ) . N( - d2)
With
d1 = [ Ln( S/K ) + ( ( r-q + 0.5σ² ).τ )] / ( σ√τ )
d2 = [ Ln( S/K ) + ( ( r-q - 0.5σ² ).τ )] / ( σ√τ ) = d1 - ( σ√τ )
N(.) Cumulative Normal Denstity
N( d1 ) = ∫ [ ((1 / ( √2п )) . exp( -z²/2 ) ] dz, derived between –inf and d1
