Peter Sheffield has Euros (€) amounting to €500,000 and is provided with the following quotes: Bank A: Euro/US dollar = €0.8418/$ Bank A: British pound /US dollar = £0.7538/S Bank B: British pound/Euro = £0.8863/€ Determine whether an arbitrage opportunity exists. Show your calculation in the space below and briefly explain (in one or two sentences) why the arbitrage opportunity exists or not. For example, show your calculation as follows (The currencies used in the example are not applicable to your calculation. It just provide you with information how you should show your calculation): Yen/ZAR = 11.7654/1.3954 = 8.4316 (Round your answer to 4 decimals) Reason why arbitrage opportunity exists/ does not exist:
Suppose the spot price of a euro in dollars is $0.932. The U.S. interest rate for 90 days is 6.875% and the euro rate for 90 days is 4.450%. All interest calculations are done as rate times (#days/360). a. What is the rate for a 90-day forward contract on the euro? b. Suppose the euro forward contract is currently quoted at $0.95. What type of transaction(s) should an arbitrageur conduct to take advantage of the apparent mispricing Only typed answer
Suppose that the current EUR/GBP rate is 0.6668 and the one-year forward exchange rate is 0.6742. The one-year interest rate is 1.8% in euros and 3.6% in pounds. You can borrow at most €1,000,000 or the equivalent pound amount. Suppose you are a pound-based investor. Determine the profit/loss (in GBP, no cents) if you borrow locally and invest in Euros.
Suppose you have the following spot exchange rates: USD/AUD 0.5300 AUD/EUR 1.6428 USD/EUR 0.8782 a) Calculate the US dollar profit (per 1 USD), if any, on a three-point arbitrage. b) Calculate AUD profit (per 1 AUD), if any, on a three-point arbitrage. c) How can you explain the answers in (1) and (2)?
A. Suppose the dollar interest rate and the euro interest rate are the same and equal 2 percent per year. Suppose the expected future $/€ exchange rate is $1.20 per 1 €. Suppose now Euro interest rate decreases to 1 percent per year. Determine how the new equilibrium $/€ exchange rate will change if the US interest rate remains constant. B. Indicate how the change in the Euro interest rate will affect the equilibrium $/€ exchange rate and the expected return on euro assets. Explain the changes on the graph.
Suppose there are no transaction costs. If the one year forward rate of the euro is an accurate estimate of the spot rate one year from now, then the actual cost of hedging payable will be: A. positive if the forward rate exhibits a premium, and negative if the forward rate exhibits a discount. B. positive. C. negative. D. zero.
You are given the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Canadian dollar. You are also given the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and the Mexican peso. What is the name given to the Canadian dollar per Mexican peso exchange rate derived from the information that was provided? A. Swap rate B. Depositary rate C. Forward rate D. London Interbank rate E. Cross-rate
Suppose you observe that 90-day interest rate across the eurozone is 5%, while the interest rate in the U.S. over the same time period is 1%. Further, the spot rate and the 90-day forward rate on the euro are both $1.60. You have $500,000 that you wish to use in order to engage in covered interest arbitrage. To start, you exchange your $500,000 for (for when you convert the euros back to dollars), you euros, and deposit the funds in a bank in the eurozone. To lock in the exchange rate euros forward at a forward rate of $1.60.
Assuming the following quotes: Citibank quotes U.S. dollars per pound at $1.5400/£ National Westminster quotes euro per pound at €1.6000/£ Deutsche bank quotes dollars per euro at $0.9700/€ Is there an arbitrage opportunity based on these quotations? If so, show how a market trader with one million $ (1,000.000 $) can make an inter-market arbitrage profit, and calculate that profit.
Assume you can exchange $1 for either £1.0 or €0.50 in the U.S. In the London market, you can exchange £1 for €0.52. This situation creates an opportunity to profit immediately from which one of the following? A. Futures arbitrage B. Currency hedge C. Interest rate swap D. Absolute purchasing power parity E. Triangle arbitrage
If the U.S. interest rate is higher than the U.K. interest rate, will the U.K. investors place short-term funds in the U.S.? Explain. Assume the investment is covered. If the rate of inflation in the European Union (EU) is above the rate of inflation in the U.S., by 4 percentage points and the dollar depreciates against the euro by 5% during the same time period, what is expected to happen to the real exchange rate? The e exchange rate is defined as the dollar price of euro($/€).
Suppose a bank customer with CL000,000 wishes to trade out of euro and into Japanese yen. The dolar-euro exchange rate is quoted as $1.60- CL.00 and the dollar yen exchange rate is quoted at $1.00-W120. How many yen will the customer get? (Answer with just the nu number. No symbote.)
