Assume that interest rate parity holds and that 90-day risk-freesecurities yield a nominal annual rate of 3% in the United States and a nominal annual rateof 3.5% in the United Kingdom. In the spot market, 1 pound = $1.29.a. What is the 90-day forward rate?b. Is the 90-day forward rate trading at a premium or a discount relative to the spot rate?
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 you start with buying a stock in £ (equivalent to $100) when the exchange rate is £1 = $1.5. One year later, the stock price changes to £75, and you sell it. At the time of the sale, the exchange rate is £1 = $1.6. What is your total percentage return? What percentage of your return is due to the exchange rate? Total return = 12.50%; Exchange rate return = 6.67%. Total return = 20%; Exchange rate return = 7.50%. Total return = 20%; Exchange rate return = 0.0%. Total return = 12.50%; Exchange rate return = 7.50%. Total return = 0.0%; Exchange rate return = 7.50%. Total return = 20%; Exchange rate return = 6.67%.
A bank’s position in OTC options on the dollar-euro exchange rate with a current Delta of -400 and a current Vega of 771. The exchange rate (dollars per euro) is 1.16 and the volatility of the exchange rate is 23.8% per annum. If the volatility of the exchange rate was to suddenly change to 27.4% per annum, what would be your best estimate of the change in the value of the bank’s position in OTC options? Your answer should be a number without any currency sign and if the change is a decrease then there should be negative sign at the front (i.e., if the value goes up by $100 you should write 100, but if it goes down by $100 you should write -100).

a. The spot price of the British pound is currently $1.50. If the risk-free interest rate on 1-year government bonds is 1% in the United States and 2% in the United Kingdom, what must be the forward price of the pound for delivery one year from now?b. How could an investor make risk-free arbitrage profits if the forward price were higher than the price you gave in answer to part (a)? Give a numerical example.
A. Suppose the dollar interest rate and the euro interest rate are the same and equal 2 percent per year. Suppose the expected future $/€ exchange rate is $1.20 per 1 €. Suppose now Euro interest rate decreases to 1 percent per year. Determine how the new equilibrium $/€ exchange rate will change if the US interest rate remains constant. B. Indicate how the change in the Euro interest rate will affect the equilibrium $/€ exchange rate and the expected return on euro assets. Explain the changes on the graph.
