Solution

To determine the FX swap rate to 11th October, 2018, we first need to calculate the number of months between today's date (1st June, 2018) and the target date (11th October, 2018).

Counting June to October, we get 5 months.

Given the 3, 4 and 5 month AUD/USD swap rates are -15, -30 and -45 points, respectively, the swap rate for 5 months would be -45 points.

Therefore, the FX swap rate (in points) to 11th October, 2018 is -45 points.

So, the correct answer is not listed among the options provided.
