问题如下:
In spot market, Swiss Franc (CHF) is traded at CHF/EUR 1.1613. In forward market, the 90-day forward rate is CHF/EUR 1.1592. Which of the following statement is most likely correct?
选项:
A.Interest rates are lower in the Euro Zone relative to Switzerland.
B.Interest rates are higher in the Euro Zone relative to Switzerland.
C.More CHF is needed to exchange one EUR in the forward market than exchange in the spot market.
解释:
B is correct.
Forward rate in CHF/EUR = spot rate* (1+interest rate in Switzerland)/(1+interest rate in Euro Zone). Forward rate is lower than spot rate in CHF/EUR as1.1592<1.1613, therefore Interest rates are higher in the Euro Zone than in Switzerland.
考点:Forward rate
解析:瑞士法郎/欧元远期利率=即期利率*(1+瑞士利率)/(1+欧元区利率)。远期利率低于即期汇率(CHF/EUR =1.1592<1.1613),因此欧元区利率高于瑞士区利率。
助教老师,我想问一下
Swiss Franc (CHF) is traded at CHF/EUR 1.1613.是理解成1.1613CHF/EUR,而不是CHF/EUR=1.1613对吗
