问题如下:
If the base currency in a forward exchange rate quote is trading at a forward discount, which of the following statements is most accurate?
选项:
A.The forward points will be positive.
B.The forward percentage will be negative.
C.The base currency is expected to appreciate versus the price currency.
解释:
B is correct.
The base currency trading at a forward discount means that 1 unit of the base currency costs less for forward delivery than for spot delivery; i.e., the forward exchange rate is less than the spot exchange rate. The forward points, expressed either as an absolute number of points or as a percentage, are negative.
考点:Forward Premium and Discount
解析:如果基础货币以远期贴水交易,那么远期汇率将低于即期汇率,forward points 和forward percentage都为负数,基础货币将贬值。所以只有B选项正确
解析中说那样基础货币会贬值。为什么?
