The open interest in a futures contract changes from day to day. Suppose investors holding long positions are divided into two groups: A is an individual investor and OL represents other investors. Investors holding short positions are denoted as S. Currently, A holds 1,000 contracts and OL holds 4,200; thus, S is short 5,200 con- tracts. Determine the holdings of A, OL, and S after each of the following transactions. Treat each transaction independently. For example, the transaction in b ignores the transaction in a.
A sells 500 contracts; OL buys 500 contracts
b. A buys 700 contracts; OL sells 700 contracts
c. A buys 200 contracts; S sells 200 contracts
d. A sells 800 contracts; S buys 800 contracts
What determines whether new volume increases or decreases the open interest?
