问题如下:
Li is a credit analyst in a wealth management firm.
Li believes the US economy is improving, and the economy will strengthen in the short-term. Thus, the credit spread curve will become more steepening with short-term credit spread decreasing. Li wants to capitalize his view of the steepening US credit curve.
According to the information above, the curve trade that Li could use it:
选项:
A.Short short-term CDX and long long-term CDX
B.long short-term CDX and Short long-term CDX
C.Long short-term CDX and long long-term CDX
解释:
B is correct
考点:CDS的应用。
解析:
因为预测Credit curve会变得更加Steepening,短期的Credit spread会下降,因此可以卖出短期的CDS protection来赚取保费,同时可以买入长期的Protection。而卖出短期Protection,相当于主动承担了短期的Credit risk,因此是Long short-term CDS;而买入长期的Protection,相当于转移出去了长期的Credit risk,因此是Short long-term CDS。因此B正确。
老师好, 怎么判断长期?
1) "短期经济会变好,spread会下降,curve变得更陡峭,长期的spread一定更大于短期的spread。长期spread大,我们就需要买保险来规避转移信用风险,即short long-term CDX。" "短期经济会变好,spread会下降,curve变得更陡峭" 是指curve 会向下变,就是curve 是negative slop 而且绝对值会更大是吗?
2) "长期的spread一定更大于短期的spread。长期spread大,我们就需要买保险来规避转移信用风险,即short long-term CDX。" 长期为什么一定大于短期的spread? 谢谢。
