According to an in-house research report, it is expected that USDJPY (quoted as JPY/USD) will trade near 97 at the end of March.

Accordingly, which of the following strategies would be the most appropriate for the largest profit while the potential loss is limited?
选项: A. Long a call option on USDJPY and long a put option on USDJPY with
the same strike price of USDJPY 97 and expiration date
B.
Long a call option on USDJPY with strike price of USDJPY 97 and short a call option on USDJPY with strike price of USDJPY 99 and the same expiration date
C.
Short a call option on USDJPY and long a put option on USDJPY with the same strike price of USDJPY 97 and expiration date
D.
Long a call option with strike price of USDJPY 96, long a call option with strike price of USDJPY 98, and sell two call options with strike price of USDJPY 97, all of them with the same expiration date
解释:
ANSWER: D
The best strategy among these is a long butterfly, which benefits if the spot stays at the current level. Answer A is a long straddle, which is incorrect because this will lose money if the spot rate does not move. Answer B is a bull spread, which is incorrect because it assumes the spot price will go up. Answer C is the same as a short spot position, which is also incorrect.
