The Supply of Storage

In: The Economics of Futures Trading

Author

  • Michael J. Brennan

Abstract

It is a familiar proposition that the amount of a commodity held in storage is determined by the equality of the marginal cost of storage and the temporal price spread. Why then do we observe stocks being carried from one period to the next when the price expected to prevail in the next period — reflected in the futures price quotation for delivery in that period — is below the current price.
