about FRA and interest rate futures?
选项:

rate futures position benefit form interest rate rising.

investors could enter a long FRA position.

benefit from rising interest rates.
解释:
中文解析
A选项: long FRA,即支付固定的利率,收到的是浮动利率,因此会在利率上升的时候获利;但是long interest rate futures是在利率下跌的时候获利。A错。
B选项,为了对冲利率下跌带来的风险,应该进入的是在利率下跌的时候可以获利的头寸,因此应该进入short FRA的头寸。
C选项,期货合约的价格和利率是反向关系,因此short interest rate futures在利率上升的时候获利,正确。
为啥我首先想到的是考察远期与期货的对比,期货与利率相关性那个知识点呢?
其实是考察利率报价方式,对吧
