问题如下:
If the return from an asset is negatively correlated with interest rates, would you expect the forward price to be greater than or less than the futures price? Explain.

解释:
When there is a negative correlation between return on assets and interest rates, when the asset price increases, funds tend to be invested at a relatively lower rate. On the other hand, when the asset price decreases, funds can be invested at a relatively higher rate. This makes a long futures contract less attractive than a long forward contract and the futures price will be lower than the forward price.
老师您好,请问可以这么理解吗? 当两者负相关,则利率下跌时,期货需要付出保证金,而远期不用,所以LONG 远期的价格要贵过期货?
