问题如下:
BBQ firm is an American company and exports steel to a firm which is in England. Assume BBQ receives the payment of 3,600,000 GBP now and it wants to change these pounds into dollars. The spot exchange market rate is 1.5500 USD/GBP for bid and 1.5505 for ask. A day after, BBQ calls a dealer who quotes 1.5498 USD/GBP for bid and 1.5507 for ask. Which of the following reasons cannot explain the dealer quote?
选项:
A.Because it is a small transaction.
B.Because the New York and London exchange market are not both open.
C.Because the volatility of market is getting large.
解释:
A is correct.
考点:Factors that affect the bid-offer spread
解析:我们观察到交易商A的报价的价差是0.0009( =1.5507-1.5498 )明显高于前一日的市场报价的价差0.0005( 1.5505-1.5500 )。能够把外汇市场卖价差拉大的原因包括:市场风险加大;纽约和伦敦市场没有同时开市,市场流动性减少 ;以及交易量过大,抽干了市场的流动性。A选项说法反了,所以入选不能解释的选项。
B选项错在哪里
