1、chapter 5: interest yields, interest rate risk, and derivative securitiesi. chapter overviewchapter 5 begins with a presentation of the concept of discounted present value and how it relates the market price of a bond to its yield. this discussion is followed by an explanation of how term to maturit

2、y affects interest-rate risk. the next section introduces the term structure of interest rates and the representation of the yield curve. this section proceeds with a discussion of various theories of the term structure and with an evaluation of the extent to which they are able to explain regular f

3、eatures of the yield curve, such as its upward slope. the theories discussed are (1) the segmented markets theory, (2) the expectations theory and (3) the preferred habitat theory. finally, the section ends with an elaboration of the various sources of interest rate risk, and other reasons for inter

4、est rate differentials between instruments with similar maturities. these include (1) differences in the degree of default risk, (2) differences in the degree of liquidity and (3) differences in tax obligations. the following section examines how excess returns arising from failure of uncovered inte

5、rest parity contribute to differences among national interest rates. it explains the concept of excess returns, discusses recent evidence concerning excess returns for various nations, and evaluates how varying sizes of excess returns can help explain international interest rate differentials.the ne

6、xt section defines real interest rates. it explains how combining the purchasing power parity and uncovered interest parity conditions leads to a real interest parity condition, which in principle can be used to provide a measure of international market arbitrage.the chapter then turns to a discussi

7、on of ways in which investors can hedge against interest rate risk using derivatives. the section points out that forward exchange contracts are simply one example of a derivative security. just as investors use forward exchange rate markets to hedge against exchange risk, investors can use derivati

8、ve securities that are based on forward interest rates to hedge against interest rate risk. the chapter then describes some of the most common forms of available derivatives, such as interest rate futures, stock index futures, and currency futures. the uses of currency futures, options and swaps are

18、uot;why uncovered interest parity may hold, but not for very long"this management notebook considers one theory for why uncovered interest parity rarely appears to hold, which is that the time immediately before interest returns are about to be received by holders of financial instruments is wh

19、en the greatest arbitrage opportunity exists. it discusses recent research by two federal reserve economists indicating that the uncovered interest parity condition indeed appears more likely to be satisfied during the last few minutes before instruments mature.for critical analysis: the interest ra

20、te on this financial instrument and the interest rate on a similar foreign instrument cannot change during this time just before transmission of interest payments to the holders of these instruments. exchange rates can still adjust in foreign exchange markets, however.2. management notebook: "b

21、ad days for the badla"the subject of this management notebook is a traditional method used in indian financial markets to carry forward trades of commodities, stocks, or currencies without engaging in final settlement. it discusses the fact that recently introduced western-style futures contrac

22、ts appear to be gradually replacing this informal type of futures mechanism.for critical analysis: traders tend to prefer lower prices (and hence higher returns) but also are averse to risk. if western-style futures contracts are sufficiently less risky, this can help explain why they have tended to

23、 crowd out badla even when the latter instruments trade at lower prices.3. management notebook: "following the money in derivatives markets"this management notebook provides comparative data on derivatives traded in organized exchanges and in over-the-counter (otc) markets. it provides inf

24、ormation about which types of derivatives are most commonly used. for critical analysis: the three key factors are likely to be the price of the derivative security, the risks associated with its use, and the transactions costs entailed in purchasing the derivative and managing the instrument over t

25、he life of the contract.v. answers to end of chapter questions1. given that: pb = c/(1+r) + c/(1+r)2 + c/(1+r)3 + c/(1+r)4 + .;multiply each side by (1+r): pb (1+r) = c + c/(1+r) + c/(1+r)2 +.;and subtract pb from each side: pb (1+r) - pb = c + c/(1+r) + c/(1+r)2 +. - c/(1+r) + c/(1+r)2 +.;simplifyi

26、ng: pb * r = c.therefore, pb = c/r.2. in this situation, annual yields decline as the term to maturity increases, which means that the yield curve slopes downward. according to the expectations theory of the term structure of interest rates, this situation arises because bond-market traders anticipa

27、tes that short-term interest rates will fall sharply. thus, an average of current and future short-term rates, which, when added to any term premium applicable to a longer maturity, is lower than the current short-term rate.3. yes, the excess return on the german government bond equals 3.5 percent (

28、5 percent 3 percent) = 1.5 percent. 4. parity conditions:a. using uncovered interest parity, r - r* = (s+1e - s) / s. because the left-hand-side is negative, we would expect the right-hand side to be negative, indicating a domestic currency appreciation.b. using relative ppp, b-b* = %)s. because the

29、 left -hand-side is negative, we would expect the right-hand side to be negative, indicating a domestic currency appreciation.5. the domestic real interest rate is 5 percent less 2 percent, or 3 percent. the foreign real interest rate is 6 percent less 4 percent, or 2 percent. real interest rates ar

30、e not equal, so the real interest parity condition does not hold. we would expect funds to flow into the domestic country and out of the foreign country, which would drive the domestic real interest rate down and the foreign real interest rate up. 6. in contrast to forward currency contracts, curren

31、cy futures require delivery of standard quantities of currencies. in addition, holders of currency futures experience profits of losses on the contracts during the entire period before the contracts expire, whereas profits or losses occur only at the expiration date of a forward currency contract.7.

32、 a currency future already is a derivative, because its value varies with the exchange rate. the value of a currency futures option, in turn, depends on the underlying value of a currency futures contract, so its value is derived from the futures derivative. in this way, a currency futures option is

33、 a "derivative of a derivative."8. a. the company owes 500,000 sfr and is concerned about the future spot exchange value of the u.s. dollar-swiss franc. it can therefore purchase future contracts to set a limit to its potential exchange rate losses.b. the sfr is purchased in 125,000 franc

34、increments. therefore, the firm would want to purchase 500,000/125,000 = 4 futures contracts. given the initial margin on a franc contract, the total initial margin the firm establishes is: 4($1,688) = $6,752. the daily margin changes are as follows: first: (0.6252 - 0.6251)(125,000)(4) = +$50. ther

35、efore its margin equals $6,802.second: (0.6127 - 0.6252)(125,000)(4) = -$6250. therefore the margin would fall to $552. however, the maintenance margin is equal to $1,250. thus, the margin will equal $1,250. third: (0.6115 - 0.6127)(125,000)(4) = -$600. again, the margin must remain at $1,250.fourth

36、: (0.6806 - 0.6115)(125,000)(4) = -$1450. again, this daily change would fall beneath the maintenance margin. thus, it remains at $1,250.c. as the dollar continues to appreciate relative to the swiss franc, the value of the futures contract falls. however, the cost of 500,000 franc payment is becomi

37、ng cheaper on terms of the u.s. dollar.9. a. the call option is currently out of the money.b.

39、contract can be arranged between a purchaser and a seller, and is dependent upon each participant's beliefs of what will happen in the future. sometimes it can be difficult to match counterparties to such contracts. swaps, on the other hand, directly match traders who require flows of currencies

40、 held by one another. swaps may also allow borrowers to receive better loan rates by issuing debt in their home currency rather than in a foreign currency; thereby potentially avoiding a risk premium. considerations of the reason for the long position on a currency and which currency is at issue wil
