文章描述为:
The COVID-19 pandemic led many investors to flee from emerging market currencies due to concerns of exchange rate volatility. The flight to safety created several short positions in BRL/USD, leading to the depreciation of the Brazilian real. Zhang Lei, the hedge fund’s CEO, predicts that the Brazilian real will appreciate soon and requests that Nadela create a bull spread using options.
题目为:
Calculate the maximum gain and breakeven price per option contract with a $5.00/$6.00 bull spread, using data in Exhibit 2.
问题:文章和Exhibit 2中给到的汇率都是BRL/USD。我的理解是这种表示方式USD是 foreign currency,option contract 应该用雷亚尔而不能用美元来表示执行价格($5.00/$6.00)。题目的汇率表示方法有误,应为USD/BRL,在看到题目中BRL/USD表示方法时,我会习惯性的想取倒数来算。不知道我的理解是否有误。
