问题如下:
Until recently, Country A and Country B had similar interest rates. The central bank of Country A has just increased interest rates. A speculator thinks this will lead to international investors moving funds from Country B’s currency to Country A’s currency to earn the higher interest rate. This will increase the demand for currency A, and as a result, currency A will strengthen relative to currency B. What spot or forward trades should the speculator do?
选项:
解释:
The speculator thinks that currency A will strengthen. However, interest rate parity indicates that it is weaker in the forward market. If the speculator is right, he or she will make money by buying currency A with currency B in the forward market and then selling it on the delivery date.
根据李老师视频讲解,当一个国家的货币上涨,不就是long spot ,根据平价理论,又担心A货币最终会贬值,就shot forward.好像正好跟答案的讲解相反了,答案是long forward,麻烦老师讲解一下,谢谢!
