选项:
A.USD 1.2155 per EUR 1
USD 1.2245 per EUR 1
USD 1.2247 per EUR 1
USD 1.2253 per EUR 1
解释:
C is correct. To enter into a long 6-month forward contract, we need to find the 6-month forward ask price. The first step is to calculate the spot-ask from the provided information.
Spot ask = 1-month forward ask-1-month points/10,000 = 1.2208 − 6.0/10,000 = 1.2202
Then add the 6-month ask points to the spot-ask found in the prior step:6-months forward ask = 1.2202 + 45.0/10000 = 1.2247
A is incorrect
6-months forward bid is 1.2200 − 45.0/10,000 = 1.2155
B is incorrect
If instead of spot ask use bid,
6-months forward ask is 1.2200 + 45.0/10,000 = 1.2245
D is incorrect
If instead of spot ask use 1-month forward ask,
6-months forward ask is 1.2208 + 45.5/10,000 = 1.2253
解析好像想把几种情况都说明,但是看不明白
