Học viên: em có thắc mắc câu như sau:
” If the base currency in a forward exchange rate quote is trading at a forward discount, which of the following statements is most accurate?
- The forward points will be positive.
- The forward percentage will be negative.
- the base currency is expected to appreciate versus the price currency.”
Câu này tại sao đáp án là B ạ ??
” B is correct. the base currency trading at a forward rate discount means that 1 unit of the base currency costs less for forward delivery than for spot delivery; i.e, the forward exchange rate is less than the spot exchange rate. The forward points, expressed either as an absolute number of points or as a percentage, are negative “
Giảng viên: Đáp án đã giải thích khá rõ ràng. Forward discount đồng nghĩa với F<S (giá forward thấp hơn giá spot). Vì vậy điểm kì hạn sẽ âm.
