Foreign Equity Options Struck in Domestic Currency is an option on foreign equities in a foreign currency but the strike price is in domestic currency (see Figure 50.1). At expiration, assuming the option is in the money, its value will be translated back into the domestic currency. The Exchange Rate is the spot rate for domestic currency to foreign currency, the asset price is denominated in a foreign currency, and the strike price is in domestic currency.
