问题如下:
Analyst Bob is studying foreign exchange market. He observes that:
1. The spot exchange market rate is 1.55USD/GBP
2. The 180-Day Libor for dollars is 0.58%, while the 180-Day Libor for pounds is 0.62%
So, Bob calculate the 180-day forward points for the USD/GBP. Which of the following option is correct?
选项:
A.0.
B.-0.0003.
C.-0.0237.
解释:
B is correct
考点:Interest rate parity
解析,根据利率平价理论的公式,我们首先可以求得美元兑英镑的远期汇率水平,即:
接着我们再求出forward points,即:1.5497-1.5500 =-0.0003
看到之前有小伙伴问这个了,老师是这么说的“即使写的180-dayLibor,也是表示年化”。考试中也是会这样吗?
那为什么会这么表述呢?
