Abstract: A $ (B,S)$ financial market is considered in the paper for the case where the volatility is governed by fractional Brownian motion. We prove that the market is incomplete and find the optimal hedging price of a contingent claim that locally minimizes the risk. Under certain assumptions on the price function, we obtain a partial differential equation for the fair hedging price of a contingent claim.
