考点:Currency Risk & Portfolio Return and Risk
解析:
已知domestic-currency return is 15%,即,foreign-currency asset return is 12%,即 ,代入公式,则 。根据EUR/USD(DC/FC)的外汇报价方式,由于,因此USD相对于EUR是升值的,也就是说, EUR相对于USD是贬值的。
欧元资产收益率更高,按照经济学原理,好像是利率平价吧,那不应该是欧元升值么?当然,对于公式算出来的是正的2.67%我也没异议,但是就是想不通为啥是利率高的贬值?难道是何老师上课说的利率平价指的是长期的结果,而公式算出来的是短期的结果?
