怎么确定的short的头寸,是因为半年之后要以175.8卖掉一半的原因么

问题如下:

A Baywhite client currently owns 5,000 common non-dividend-paying shares of Vivivyu Inc. (VIVU), a digital media company, at a spot price of USD173 per share. The client enters into a forward commitment to sell half of its VIVU position in six months at a price of USD175.58. Which of the following market events is most likely to result in the greatest gain in the VIVU forward contract MTM value from the client's perspective?

选项:

A.An increase in the risk-free rate B.An immediate decline in the VIVU spot price following contract inception C.A steady rise in the spot price of VIVU stock over time

解释:

Solution

B is correct.

The original VIVU spot price (S0) at t = 0 must equal the present value of the forward price discounted at the risk-free rate, so an immediate fall in the spot price to S0- < S0 results in an MTM gain for the forward contract seller. A is not correct, since a higher risk-free rate will reduce the contract MTM from the client's perspective by reducing the PV of F0(T), while C will also reduce the forward contract MTM from the seller's perspective.

中文解析:

根据题干可知,客户想要通过远期合约在六个月后减少持有的股票头寸,因此他应该进入的是short forward头寸。

Short forward头寸下,MTM value = F0(T)/(1+r)T-t - St

由上式可以看到:无风险利率上涨,以及股票价格上涨,都会使得MTM value下降。而股票价格下跌,会使得MTM value上涨。因此选B

卖股票,不能低于175.8.是这么理解么

嗨,努力学习的PZer你好:


是的,题干中提到客户进入了一个 forward commitment 来减少持有的股票头寸,这意味着客户所做的交易应该是 Short Forward 头寸,即未来卖出一定数量的股票。而题目中又指出客户计划在六个月后卖出他持有的 VIVU 的一半股份,因此该客户售出的股票数量应为原来的 5,000 股的一半,即 2,500 股。
