Question
Based on the FX data provided in the table, which statement is most accurate?
选项:
A.The forward rate is trading at a discount to the spot rate by 0.0049 points.
B.The euro has a forward premium of 49 points..
C.The US dollar has a forward premium of 49 points.

Solution
- Correct. Forward premium = Forward rate – Spot rate = 1.3019 – 1.2970 = 0.0049. To convert this to points, multiply by 10,000 (considering four decimal places) = 10,000 × 0.0049 = 49 points. As the forward rate is higher than the spot rate for the base currency (euro), it implies that the euro is trading at a forward premium of 49 points.
• explain the arbitrage relationship between spot and forward exchange rates and interest rates, calculate a forward rate using points or in percentage terms, and interpret a forward discount or premium
USD/EUR forward premium是49是算到欧元上还是美元上
