Final answer:
In a long straddle, the delta is typically close to zero and reflects the option's sensitivity to changes in the stock's price, while the gamma is positive, indicating that the straddle's delta becomes more extreme as the stock moves away from the strike price. Exact values for delta and gamma require an option pricing model and cannot be provided with the information given.
Step-by-step explanation:
The delta of a long straddle is calculated for each leg separately and then combined. Since a long straddle involves buying both a call and a put option with the same strike price and expiration date, the deltas from the call and the put generally offset to an extent because one is positive and the other is negative. However, because the at-the-money delta of a call is about +0.5 and a put is -0.5, if the options are at-the-money, the overall delta of the straddle will be close to zero but may not be exactly zero due to the changes in the option's delta as the underlying price moves.
Gamma measures the rate of change in delta with respect to changes in the underlying asset price. For a long straddle, the gamma is positive for both the long call and long put, meaning that as the underlying stock price moves away from the strike price, the delta of the straddle will become more extreme (positive for up moves, negative for down moves), and the position will become more sensitive to changes in the stock price.
Given the parameters in the question (stock price S=60, strike price K=100, risk-free rate r=4.2%, time to maturity T=0.5, and volatility σ=0.3), it is not possible to calculate exact delta and gamma values without an option pricing model like the Black-Scholes model. Once these values are calculated, they can be interpreted to understand the sensitivity of the straddle's price to changes in the underlying asset price.
