As of today, assume the following information is available: U.S. Mexico Real rate of interest required by investors 1% 1% Nominal interest rate 2% 6% Spot Rate (St) 0.0560 USD/MXN One‑year forward rate (Ft,1-yr) 0.0538 USD/MXN What is the expected inflation in the US and Mexico using fisher effect. [Hint: you can get the expected inflation using Fisher’s formula –i.e., the nominal interest rate is equal to the real interest rate plus expected inflation] Calculate the change in the forward and spot rate for USD/MXN. Compare that...

Is there any violation of interest rate parity? b. How would you take advantage of any arbitrage situation? c. What is your profit? d. Suggest an equilibrium value for the forward rate
2. You want to know what 2-year spot rates will be one year from now. According to the pure expecta- tions theory, this unknown forward rate of interest is implied by current spot rates. The simplest method of calculating this forward rate is to use today's 1-year and 3-year spot rates; i.e., the spot rates that take you out to the start of, and to the end of the forward period of time you are interested in. Thus: (1 +...
