问题如下:
Based on the data in Exhibit 2, Singh would advise Tills that the call option with the largest gamma would have a strike price closest to:
选项:
A.$ 55.00.
$ 67.50.
$ 80.00.
解释:
B is correct.
The $67.50 call option is approximately at the money because the Walnut share price is currently $67.79. Gamma measures the sensitivity of an option’s delta to a change in the underlying. The largest gamma occurs when options are trading at the money or near expiration, when the deltas of such options move quickly toward 1.0 or 0.0. Under these conditions, the gammas tend to be largest and delta hedges are hardest to maintain.
中文解析:
本题考察的是gamma在ATM的时候最大这个知识点。
根据表格2的表头信息可知,当前的股价是67.79.
在三个选项中,只有B选项的67.50是最接近当前股价的,也就是最接近ATM的状态的,此时的gamma最大。
老师请问:
现价67.79,那么67.59不是ITM吗?
能否讲一下,并讲下如何区分ATM和ITM,谢谢!
