问题如下:
Which of the following trade would suffer credit loss if the counterparty defaults before maturity?
选项:
A.Shorting euro/USD forward FX contract, and the euro has appreciated.
B.Shorting euro/USD forward FX contract, and the euro has depreciated.
C.Selling a OTC euro call option, and the euro has appreciated.
D.Selling a OTC euro call option, and the euro has depreciated.
解释:
B is correct.
考点:Credit exposure
解析:
做空欧元,则当欧元下跌时获利,此时如果对手方违约,就会产生损失。
卖出期权没有信用风险敞口,所以不选C D
如本题目,short forward EU/USD, 然后EU贬值,我们有收益,对方违约的话,那就是credit loss,那是不是也就是credit exposure,因为这个钱赚不回来。
那如果是short option的话,这笔期权费在一开始我们就收入囊中,所以exposure为0,那么现在long方赚钱行权,对我们来说我们只是有一个market loss,而不是credit loss/exposure对吧?因为亏钱是因为市场原因导致的,并非是由于对手方违约 导致的。
