Hello, I need help with the Spot Rate, 6-Month Forward Rate, and Swiss Bill rate. Thank you!
Problem 5-4 (algorithmic) Andreas Broszio (Geneva). Andreas Broszio just started as an analyst for Credit Suisse in Geneva, Switzerland. He receives the following quotes for Swiss francs against the dollar for spot, 1 month forward, 3 months forward, and 6 months forward. Spot exchange rate: Bid rate Ask rate 1-month forward SF1.2617/$ SF1.2624/$ 10 to 15 3-months forward 14 to 22 6-months forward 20 to 30 The current one-year U.S. T-Bill rate is 4.1%. a. Calculate outright quotes for bid and ask and the number of points spread between each. b. What do you notice about the spread as quotes evolve from spot toward 6 months? c. What is the 6-month Swiss bill rate? a. Calculate outright quotes for bid and ask and the number of points spread between each. Calculate the outright quotes for bid and ask and the number of points spread between each below: (Round to four decimal places.) Bid Ask Spread One-month forward (SF/$) 1.2627 1.2639 0.0012 3-months forward (SF/S) 1.2631 1.2646 0.0015 6-months forward (SF/$) 1.2637 1.2654 0.0017 b. What do you notice about the spread as quotes evolve from spot toward 6 months? (Select from the drop-down menus.) It widens most likely a result of thinner and thinner trading volume. c. What is the 6-month Swiss bill rate? (Round exchange rate to four decimal places and interest rate to three decimal places.) Six-month Swiss bill rate Spot rate, midrate (SF/S) 4.4053 Problem 5-4 (algorithmic) Andreas Broszio (Geneva). Andreas Broszio just started as an analyst for Credit Suisse in Geneva, Switzerland.
