Which of the following best describes the terms 'long forward position' and 'short forward position' in foreign exchange trading? A short forward position is holding a currency for a short duration, while a long forward position is holding it for a longer period. A short forward position means you have agreed to sell a currency in the future, while a long forward position means you have agreed to buy it in the future. A long forward position is when you expect the currency's future spot rate to decrease, and a short forward position is when you expect it to increase. A long forward position means you have agreed to sell a currency in the future, and a short forward position means you have agreed to buy it in the future.
32. Problem 8.40 (IFE, Cross Exchange Rates, and Cash Flows) Algo eBook Assume the Hong Kong dollar (HK$) value is tied to the U.S. dollar and will remain tied to the U.S. dollar. Assume that interest rate parity exists. Today an Australian dollar (A$) is worth $0.50 and HK$4.1. The one-year interest rate on the Australian dollar is 7 percent, while the one-year interest rate on the U.S. dollar is 9 percent. You believe in the international Fisher effect. You will receive A$1 million in one year from selling products to Australia, and will convert these proceeds into Hong Kong dollars in the spot market at that time to purchase imports from Hong Kong. Forecast the amount of Hong Kong dollars that you will be able to purchase in the spot market one year from now with A$1 million. Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest dollar. HK$
