问题如下:
Analyst Bob is studying foreign exchange market. He observes that:
1. The spot exchange market rate is 1.55USD/GBP
2. The 180-Day Libor for dollars is 0.58%, while the 180-Day Libor for pounds is 0.62%
So, Bob calculate the 180-day forward points for the USD/GBP. Which of the following option is correct?
选项:
A.0.
B.-0.0003.
C.-0.0237.
解释:
B is correct
考点:Interest rate parity
解析,根据利率平价理论的公式,我们首先可以求得美元兑英镑的远期汇率水平,即:
接着我们再求出forward points,即:1.5497-1.5500 =-0.0003
目前看唯一可能出现问题的地方就在于1.55后面那一个括号里面的计算
分子分母分别是 1.0029 和 1.0031,二者相除等于0.99806,对应F结果1.546993。
如果用复利的方式计算F结果是1.547078。
我保留的是6位数,请问是哪个地方算错了?
