问题如下:
A forward discount indicates:
选项:
A.an expected increase in the demand for the base currency.
B.the points are positive.
C.the forward rate is less than the spot rate.
解释:
C is correct.
If the forward rate is less than the spot rate, the points (forward rate minus spot rate) are negative and the base currency is said to be trading at a forward discount.
考点:Forward Premium and Discount
解析:如果远期汇率低于即期汇率,则forward point (远期汇率减去即期汇率)为负,这被称为远期贴水。此时,基础货币的需求往往呈现下降态势,因此只有C选项正确。
根据这个公式,forward discount代表 base currency 的利率大于 price currency 的利率,① 说明对base currency的需求上升;② 未来会吸引投资者投资,货币需求增加,利率上升
