Hi everyone,
Quick question. Based on my calculations, it seems that the bid ask spread for Nikkei futures in basis points are so high.
Typically, Nikkei futures are quoted as Bid: 16,000 Ask: 16,010.
Bid Ask: 10. Bid Ask (bps): 10 / 16,000 = 0.000625 or 0.06% or 6 bps.
Is this right?
Compared with ESA futures. Bid: 2162.75. Ask: 2163.00.
Bid Ask: 0.25. Bid Ask (bps): 0.25 / 2162.75 = 0.000116 or 0.01% or 1bps.
I understand it's a function of Nikkei's base of 16,000. But the calculation is standard and shows 6 bps.
Is my calculation correct?
Sincerely Yours,
Donny
