- You are trader at Tiger Capital. Todays market (bid-ask) rates for the number of USD per EUR are as follows:Spot rate: 1.1250 - 1.1254 USD = EUR 1.0 3 month forward rate: 1.1055 - 1.1060 USD = EUR 1.0 You think (i.e., have a hunch) that the EUR will weaken against the USD over the next 3 months and decide to do a trade today to exploit your hunch. Specifically, you sell 10 million EUR in the 3 month forward market today. You leave that position for 3 months. In 3 months from today, the spot exchange rate (number of USD per EUR) turns out to be 1.1100. How much profit or loss have you made?

Consider a European put with an exercise (strike) price of 5.00 and with 6 months to maturity. The underlying asset has a volatility of 30% and the riskless rate is 5% per year. Estimate a numerical upper bound for the asset price S(t) (to nearest 0.01) at which an European put will sell below its intrinsic value of max(E – S(t), 0). (Compute P(S, t) and E – S(t) for some values of S(t) below the strike price. Compute P(S, t) to at least 3 decimal places.)
