Supervisory delta for commodities with negative prices
- Question
-
Article 279a (1), (a) of the CRR establishes the formula to be used for calculating the supervisory delta of options mapped to all risk categories except for the interest rate category. Can such formula be made compatible with market conditions in which commodities may have negative prices?
- Background on the question
-
The formula for the supervisory delta as per Article 279a (1)(a) CRR cannot be applied in case of negative prices for commodities. In accordance with the provision of Article 279a(3) and due to the existence of negative interest rates, the supervisory delta formula has been specified differently in the final draft of the RTS on the Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk published by the EBA on 18 December 2019.

- Rationale for rejection
-
The question has been rejected because the legal basis it refers to has been amended / revised and the issue it raises is no longer relevant in the light of the Regulatory Technical Standards amending Delegated Regulation on mapping of derivative transactions to risk categories, on supervisory delta formula for interest rate options and on determination of long or short positions in the Standardised Approach for Counterparty Credit Risk under Article 277(5) and Article 279a(3)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 575/2013 (Capital Requirements Regulation).
