问题如下:
Which of the following is an appropriate
statement regarding Eurodollar
futures contract?
Statement 1: If the price of the Eurodollar
futures suggested by the carry arbitrage model is F, and the market price of
the Eurodollar futures price is less than F. Then futures contract
should be purchased.
Statement 2: If the underlying Eurodollar bond’s
upcoming interest payment was expected in three months instead of five, then according
to the cost of carry model, the futures price would be higher.
选项:
A.Only statement 1
Only statement 2
Both
解释:
A is correct
表述1:由无套利模型定价得到的期货的价格是合理定价,现在市场上欧洲美元期货的价格低于这个合理定价F,则买低卖高,因此应该买入,表述正确。
表述2:期货价格=FV(S0 +CC-CB),CC表示carry cost,CB表示carry benefit。
interest payment属于CB,如果利息支付发生在3个月而非5个月后,则CB的FV将会因为后期复利的时间增加了2个月而增加,考虑到CB作为减项,其增加将会导致期货价格下降,因此表述2说反了,错误。
interest payment属于carry cost
coupion payment属于carry benefit
如何理解?
