Your bank decides to fund the loan from a yen loan. Your bank agrees to borrow ¥12.8 billion at an interest rate of 1.2 percent, paid semiannually, for a period of two years. It then enters into a two-year yen/dollar swap with Citibank on a notional principal amount of $100 million (¥12.8 billion at the current spot rate). Every six months, MB pays Citibank U.S. dollar 6 M LIBOR, while citibank makes payments to MB of 1.3 percent annually in yen. At maturity, Citibank and MB reverse the notional principals.

(a) Jade Smith is a foreign exchange trader for a bank in New York. He has $1 million for a short-term money market investment and he faces the following quotes: (Assuming there are 360 days a year) Spot exchange rate (SFr/$) 1.2810 3-month forward rate (SFr/$) 1.2740 US dollar annual interest rate 4.8% Swiss franc annual interest rate 3.2% He wonders whether he should invest in US dollars for 90 days or make a covered interest arbitrage (CIA) investment in the swiss franc, and what is the profit/loss if he carries out this investment. (b) Using the same values in the table above, Jade decides to seek the full 4.8% return available in the US dollars by not covering his forward dollar receipts – an uncovered interest arbitrage (UIA) transaction. What is the maximum expected spot exchange rate (SFr/$) at the end of the 90-day period at which Jade can avoid losing money?
