In conversation, interbank foreign exchange traders use a shorthand abbreviation in expressing spot currency quotations. Consider a $/£ bid-ask quote of $1.2519-$1.2523. The currency dealer would likely quote that as ________.
A) 19-23
B) 23-19
C) 4 points
D) none of the options

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer is A. 19-23

Explanation:

The bid price is the price that the dealer is willing to buy and ask price is the price that the seller is willing to offer.

In the $/£ bid-ask quote of $1.2519-$1.2523, you would notice that the first three number(1.25) are the same for both the bid and ask quite. So it is a known fact that it is always the last two that is chosen.

The difference between bid and ask price is called spread.

Option B is wrong because it was written incorrectly.
