2020-02-03 16:32請問可以解釋原版書 Reading 20 課後題 Q23. C 選項這段話嗎? "Inter-market carry trades do not, in general, break even if each yield curve goes to its forward rates. Intra-market trades will break even if the curve goes to the forward rates because, by construction of the forward rates, all points on the curve will earn the “first-period” rate (that is, the rate for the holding period being considered). Inter-market trades need not break even unless the “first-period” rate is the same in the two markets. If the currency exposure is not hedged, then breaking even also requires that there be no change in the currency exchange rate."

同學你好
carry trade套息的本質就是forward bias,如果利率向forward rate收斂,就意識著沒有forward bias,因此這種情況下無利可圖,也就盈虧平衡了。但這是針對intra-market而言。如果是換成inter-market,那存在了另一個不確定因素,那就是匯率。如果起初和期末的匯率不同,即使利率向forwad rate收斂,由于匯率可能會變化,即使沒有forwad rate bias,也會因為匯率的變化,而導致無法盈虧平衡。

請問中間提到的 first-period rate 是指 兩條 curve 在同一時間內的 return嗎?

另外,請問文中說到的 forward rate 是指 interest rate 還是只 exchange rate?

同學你好
first-period 這個關鍵詞在原版書中,只在本題的解答中出現(xiàn)過,根據(jù)字面的理解,應該就是持有期的return要保持一致。
另外forware rate在這里是指遠期利率,因為他只有假設匯率不變的情況下才能盈虧平衡,所以匯率是不會變化的,因此只能是遠期利率。
