问题如下:
If the net cost of carry of an asset is positive, then the price of a forward contract on that asset is most likely:
选项:
A.
lower than if the net cost of carry was zero.
B.
the same as if the net cost of carry was zero.
C.
higher than if the net cost of carry was zero.
解释:
A is correct.
An asset’s forward price is increased by the future value of any costs and decreased by the future value of any benefits: . If the net cost of carry (benefits less costs) is positive, the forward price is lower than if the net cost of carry was zero.
中文解析:
下图中红色线框出来的部分即为net cost of carry,是作为减项存在的,所以当net cost of carry为正的时候,FP会降低。
net cost of carry若为positive,则现货更贵,远期更便宜。所以根据long便宜的,short贵的原则,我们应该持有远期同时卖出现货更划算。这个逻辑对吗?
