Suppose that investors are risk-neutral and the linear UIP equation holds. You are given the following information: UK interest rate: i = 0.07 US interest rate: i* = 0.02 Expected future spot rate e^e = 8. What is the current spot rate, e?

Suppose current one-year interest rate in Europe is 5%, whereas one-year interest rate in the U.S. is 3%. Assume the current spot price of euro (EUR) is $1.10. Answer questions a) and b) below. If the exchange rate movement is consistent with the international Fisher effect (IFE), what will the spot price of EUR in one year be? Consider a trader who does not believe the IFE holds. The trader has decided to borrow $110,000 to invest in EUR-denominated deposits for one year without hedging. Recall the current EUR spot rate is $1.10. If the EUR spot rate in one year turns out to be $1.09, what will be the percentage return on this trading strategy?
Suppose that the current exchange rate between the Japanese yen (¥) and the U.S. dollar ($) is ¥100 = $1. A financial analyst predicts that the exchange rate will be ¥94 = $1 next year. If the analyst uses purchasing power parity as the basis of the prediction, the analyst expects that the yen will
8. Consider countries X and Y with risk-free rates of 8 and 10 percent, respectively. The future price (Currency X/ Currency Y) for a contract deliverable in 3 months is the same as the current exchange rate. Is there any arbitrage opportunity? If there is, design a strategy to exploit the arbitrage
The Fisher equation tells us that the real interest rate approximately equals the nominal rate minus the inflation rate. Suppose the inflation rate increases from 3% to 5%. Does the Fisher equation imply that this increase will result in a fall in the real rate of interest? Explain.
