A.It has a heavier left tail and a less heavy right tail. B.It has a heavier left tail and a heavier right tail. C.It has a less heavy left tail and a heavier right tail. D.It has a less heavy left tail and a less heavy right tail.解释:
For a foreign currency option, the implied distribution gives a relatively high price for the option. The implied volatility is relatively low for at-the-money options, but it becomes higher as the option moves either in-the-money or out-of-the-money. Thus, the implied distribution has heavier tails than the lognormal distribution.rt
