问题如下:
BBQ firm is an American company and exported steel to a firm which is in England. For some reasons, BBQ will receive the payment of 3,600,000 GBP in six months and the firm would change these pounds into dollars. To hedge the currency risk, BBQ enters a 6 month forward contract to sold GBP at 1.5512USD/GBP
Three months passed. Now, the spot exchange market rate is 1.5500 USD/GBP for bid and 1.5505 for ask .The firm collects the forward rates and 90-Day Libor in the following tables:
According to the above information, the mark-to-market value for BBC’s forward position is closest to:
选项:
A.USD 324.
B.USD -323.64.
C.USD 323.64.
解释:
C is correct.
考点:Mark –to-Market Value
解析:BBQ公司进入了一份时长6个月的外汇合约。它担心卖出GBP贬值,所以该合约是卖GBP买USD,即在合约到期时公司要以1.5512USD/GBP的价格卖出GBP。现在过去三个月,那么截止当前,该合约还剩3个月到期。由于3个月后公司需要进入一份与期初头寸相反的对冲合约来结束期初的合约,所以那时BBQ应该买入GBP,卖出USD。买入GBP就需要以做市商的卖价(ask)买入。所以我们求得未来3个月 USD/GBP的市场报价。即1.5505 +0.00061=1.55111。
由于买价是1.55111,卖价是1.5512。所以3,600,000 GBP的本金在合约到期时的利润就是(1.5512-1.55111)×3,600,000 = 324USD。但是这个数值是到期时合约的价值,我们对其往前折现3个月才能求得合约在当前的价值。本题中的标价货币是USD,所以折现时候需要使用USD的3个月利率水平。即
想问一下汇率的计算保留小数点后面几位数 像是这道题3个月的ask price即期汇率是1.5505 USD/GBP 加上3个月的升水的幅度 所以在三个月这个时候重新签订的反向合约的forward rate=1.5505+0.00061=1.55111 我计算的时候保留了小数点后面四位 1.5511代入的计算( 1.5512-1.5511)*3600000得到了不同的结果 所以想问一下 计算的时候保留小数点后面几位数算的准确
