问题如下:
Interest rates in a currency XXX increase and interest rates in currency YYY stay the same. The exchange rate is expressed as XXXYYY. Do forward rates increase or decrease?
解释:
Currency XXX becomes weaker in the forward market. Exchange rates are expressed as the number of units of YYY that would be exchanged for one unit of XXX. As a result of the increase in interest rates, it takes less units of YYY to buy one unit of XXX in the forward market and so the forward rate decreases.
汇率形式是XXXYYY,所以用IRP表示就是F=S*(1+Ry)/(1+Rx),由于X利率上升,根据公式可得F下降,即一单位X可以换的Y货币减少,即X货币贬值
