问题如下:
Ace Bank has just entered into a plain-vanilla interest-rate swap as a fixed rate payer and City Bank as the fixed rate receiver. The forward spot curve is now upward-sloping. If LIBOR starts sliding down and the forward spot curve flattens, the credit risk from the swap will:
选项:
A.
Increase only for Ace Bank
B.
Increase only for City Bank
C.
Increase for both Ace Bank and City Bank
D.
Remain the same for both Ace Bank and City Bank
解释:
ANSWER: B
考点:Credit exposure
解析:
Libor 降低,则付浮动利率方赚钱,即收固定利率方 City Bank 赚钱,即 City Bank 面临更大的信用风险敞口
老师,问题1:1、The forward spot curve is now upward-sloping. 远期利率是向上倾斜的。
2、if LIBOR starts sliding down ,libor是向下倾斜的。
3、forward spot curve flatten,这里为什么又说forward spot curve是水平的?
1和3,forward spot到底是向上倾斜还是水平?
问题2:远期利率向上倾斜,就是未来折现率是增加的,债券价值未来下降,所以收浮动,支付固定才赚钱吧?就是Ace bank?
问题3:这道题问的是credit risk 谁大,应该是谁亏欠谁信用风险大吧?更容易违约,credit risk大的应该风险敞口小吧?
问题4:利率互换在计算value是把固定利率和浮动利率等同于固定利率债券和浮动利率债券,价值做差。但记得一级学的时候,有一种计算,是pay off还是什么的,为直接两个利率做差?还是我记错了?
