Suppose that the current exchange rate is 1.50 = £1, but it is expected to be 1.35 = £1in one year. If the current interest rate on a one-year government bond in the United Kingdom is 4%, what does the interest-rate parity condition indicate the interest rate will be on a one-year government bond in Germany? Assume that there are no differences in risk, liquidity, taxation, or information costs between the bonds.
Suppose that a U.S 1-year bond has a yield of 1.520% while one from China has a yield of 2.165%. Meanwhile, over the past year, the U.S has seen inflation of 7.9% while China has had 9.1% inflation. Give two possible explanations for this seeming violation of real interest parity.
Whether the follow statement is true, false or uncertain? And why? Following the announcement that the amount of QE intervention by the central bank will be reduced going forward (also known as Quantitative Tightening), according to the UIP condition, an immediate appreciation of home’s nominal exchange rate would be observed.
The Covid outbreak in 2020 led to expectations of a weaker U.S. economy. Explain how such expectations could have affected U.S. interest rates, and therefore the forward rate premium (or discount) on various foreign currencies.
Assume that interest rate parity holds. In both the spot market and the 90-day forward market, 1 Japanese yen equals 0.0094 dollar. In Japan, 90-day risk-free securities yield 4.6%. What is the yield on 90-day risk-free securities in the United States?
If the same basket of goods costs $120 in the United States and €100 in Europe, what would .the purchasing power parity theory’s prediction of the dollar/euro exchange rate be? a. $1- €0.20 b. $1- €0.80 c. $1- €0.83 d. $1- €1.10 e. $1- €1.20
As you know, when Greece joined the euro area in 2001, its long-term interest rates converged with Germany's (core country of the euro area). This long-rate convergence had also occurred within the set of original euro area members, around the time of the advent of the euro (1998). During the global financial crisis, some of those spreads have reemerged, and recently, Greek 10-year rates were about 1,000 basis points higher than Germany's. Given your reading of the case, and in light of the theory covered in our lectures answer the following questions: Q1) Do you think the level of German long-term rates will increase or decrease over the next year? Why
Suppose the current spot exchange rate for the Chinese yuan is USD 0.15 per CNY. If the domestic prices of traded goods rise 70% over the next 10 years in China and 20% over the same period in the United States, then, according to the relative purchasing power parity hypothesis, the spot exchange rate for the yuan in 10 years will be approximately:
Given the following data: R = $1.00/Y100 F = $1.00/Y95 i u.s. = 5%. If the interest parity condition is expected to hold, interest rates in Japan (Japan) should equal % (enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal places).
QUESTION 7Suppose the domestic and foreign interest rates are i = 4%, i* = 2%, and that the domestic currency is expected to depreciate by 3% during the coming year. Given this information, we know that: individuals will only hold domestic bonds. individuals will only hold foreign bonds. individuals will be indifferent about holding domestic or foreign bonds. the interest parity condition holds.
: In 2021 the exchange rate between the Haitian Gourde and the US dollar is 50 to 1. If Haiti experience inflation at the rate of 17% while the US experience inflation at a rate of only 4.7% per year. Assuming the exchange rate will vary at the same rate as inflation, what will be the exchange rate in 2026?
In 1992, several European countries had their individual currencies pegged to the ECU (a pre-cursor to the euro) in anticipation of forming a common currency area. In practice, this meant that countries were pegged to the German deutschmark (DM). This question considers how two different countries responded to the European Exchange Rate Mechanism (ERM) Crisis. For the following situations, you need only consider short-run effects. Also, treat Germany as the foreign country. (a) Following the economic consequences of German reunification in 1990, the Bundesbank (Germany’s central bank) raises its interest rate. On September 14, 1992, Great Britain decided to float the British pound (£) against the DM. Using the foreign exchange market, the money market, and treating Britain as the home country, graphically illustrate the effects of Germany increasing its interest rate on Great Britain. (b) After Britain abandoned the ERM (e.g., allowed its currency to float against the DM), investors…
