CFA衍生品練習(xí)題
"Derivative"Exercise:Implied volatility
Questions 1:
The factor least likely to influence the yield spread on an option-free,fixed-rate bond is a change in the:
A、credit risk of the issuer.
B、expected inflation rate.
C、liquidity of the bond.
【Answer to question 1】B
【analysis】
B is correct.For an option-free,fixed-rate bond,changes in the yield spread can arise from changes in the credit risk of the issuer and/or changes in the liquidity of the issue.Changes in the expected inflation rate influence the benchmark rate.
C is incorrect because changes in the yield spread an option-free,fixed-rate bond arise from changes in the liquidity of the issue.
A is incorrect because changes in the yield spread an option-free,fixed-rate bond arise from changes in the credit risk of the issuer.
If the implied volatility for options on a broad-based equity market index goes up,then it is most likely that:
A、the broad-based equity market index has gone up in value.
B、the general level of market uncertainty has gone up.
C、market interest rates have gone up.
【Answer to question 2】B
【analysis】
B is correct.One benefit of derivatives markets is information discovery.Implied volatility reveals information about the risk of the underlying.Increases in implied volatility are an implication of increased market uncertainty.
A is incorrect.Implied volatility does not provide information about the level of the equity market.
C is incorrect.Implied volatility does not provide information about the level of market interest rates.
