问题如下:
A manager holds a short position in an RMB/USD forward contract with remaining maturity of three months. At initiation, the forward rate is 7 RMB/USD.

选项:
A.0.4985
B.-0.3489
C.0.3489
解释:

老师,您好,我理解这个题:3个月后卖1$可获得7¥,用两种货币的折现率折现到当前时刻等于6.9495¥/$,相当于现在卖1$可得6.9495¥。现在市场价卖1¥可得7.3¥,则相当于将来卖比现在卖亏损了0.3505,与答案不同,请问错在哪里?题后的解答没看懂,7.3是当前的汇率,为什么还要折现?也请解答一下,谢谢。
