USD 0.7350 → 1/0.7350 = 1.3605 CHF

NO.PZ2023091802000068

问题如下:

Current spot CHF/USD rate: 1.3680 (1.3680CHF = 1USD)

3-month USD interest rates: 1.05%

3-month Swiss interest rates: 0.35%

(Assume continuous compounding)


A currency trader notices that the 3-month future price is USD 0.7350. In order to arbitrage, the trader should investment:

选项:

A.

Borrow CHF, buy USD spot, go long CHF futures

B.

Borrow CHF, sell CHF spot, go short CHF futures

C.

Borrow USD, buy CHF spot, go short CHF futures

D.

Borrow USD, sell USD spot, go long CHF futures

解释:

Step 1. The spot is quoted in terms of Swiss Francs per USD, theoretical future price of USD = 1.368 × e(0.35% – 1.05%) × 3/12 = 1.368 × 0.99825 = 1.36561 CHF

Step 2. 3-month future price is USD 0.7350 → 1/0.7350 = 1.3605 CHF

Step 3. 1.36561 CHF > 1.3605 CHF → USD future contract is undervalued

Step 4. Arbitrage strategies: borrow USD (buy CHF) spot, buy USD (short CHF) future.

不太明白usd0.7350具体什么含义?usd0.7350和chf具体数量关系是什么?

嗨,爱思考的PZer你好:


题目给的条件是A currency trader notices that the 3-month future price is USD 0.7350.  意思是现在外汇期货市场上,3个月期限的期货报价是0.7350USD,这个报价的意思是1CHF = 0.7350 USD。


为了与spot报价保持一致,我们要转换成1USD = 1/0.7350 = 1.3605CHF。
