What is a premium?
Premium refers to determining whether the forward exchange rate is rising or falling by analyzing the exchange rate trend. If the forward exchange rate is more expensive than the spot exchange rate, it is a premium, otherwise it is a discount, and the corresponding rising and falling prices are the premium amount and the discount amount.

The conversion price is related to the face value of convertible bonds, and the conversion parity is related to the market price of convertible bonds (conversion parity = market price of convertible bonds/conversion ratio). When the stock price in the market is equal to the conversion parity, investors are in breakeven, and when the stock market price is lower than the conversion parity, they are at a premium; On the contrary, it is in a discounted state, and there is an arbitrage opportunity at this time. The calculation of premium and discount can be directly compared with the stock market price and conversion parity.

There are two ways to quote money: direct quotation and indirect quotation. Direct quotation method, also known as price quotation method, refers to the measurement of a unit's foreign currency in domestic currency; Indirect quotation method, also known as quantity quotation method, refers to how much foreign currency a unit of domestic currency is converted into.

The "exchange point" comes from the "interest rate level difference" between the two trading currencies. This difference can be expressed in the form of exchange rate, which is the exchange point between two currencies in a certain period of time.
