Notwithstanding € depreciating/appreciating, we will need to sell € and buy $ since we are receiving €? Is that correct? Since if € appreciates, we do not need to exercise the option. If we reverse the scenario, we need to make a payment in €, we will buy € and sell $. As such, it will be a put option – the right but not the obligation to sell $? I went throught the free lectures but i cant seems to catch the principle behind currency options.
I would like to ask why is it a call option instead of put option for Q1. The currency option quoted is: contract size $125,000, exercise price € per $, premium price € per dollar. If the option is quoted in $, hence it is the right but not the obligation to buy or sell $. If we anticipate € depreciating since question states a permanent shift (meaning $ will appreciates). We will receive less $ after converting the € reciept. Is my understanding correct as of this point? I cant seems to grasp the logic of call/put options. If you could please explain the logic to derive a call option?
