How to calculate cross rate? Suppose 3 currencies: A, B and C. (A/C)/(B/C)=A/B For example, someday on New York foreign exchange market, 1French Franc=0.25 dollar, 1French Franc=0.57DMThen, 1dollar=0.57DM/0.25dollar=2.28DM or 1DM=0.25dollar/0.57DM=0.44dollar
Appreciation:A rise in the pounds in terms of dollars is an appreciation of the pound against the dollar. Depreciation:A fall in the dollar price of pounds is a depreciation of the pound against the dollar. c.Two changes in exchange rate $ 1.50 per pound $ 1.25 per pound pound: depreciation dollar:appreciation $ 1.50 per pound $ 1.75 per pound pound: depreciation dollar:appreciation
Basic rate(key currency, pegged currency Cross rate d.Classification of exchange rate Buying rate Selling rate Middle rate=(buying rate+selling rate) ÷ 2 Spot rate Forward rate

Ⅲ. The demand for foreign currency assets ⅰ. Assets and asset returns a. defining asset returns dollar rate of return (nominal rate of return) real rate of return
b.three factors influencing asset returns Dollar rate of return inflation Real rate of return Risk Liquidity asset returns
ⅱ.Interest rate, exchange rate and asset returns 5 steps Example: $1.1/€ $1.165/ € €: 5% $: 10% step 1: $1.1/€ €1=$1.1 step 2: €1 5% €1.05 step3: €1.05× $1.165/ €=$1.223 step4: (1.223—1.10)/1.10=11% step5: 11%>10% Conclusion: euro deposit offers the higher return.
Question: $0.7/DM $0.76/ DM RDM: 5% R$: 10% Which offers the higher rate of returns?
A simple rule R€ :today’s interest rate on one-year euro deposits R$ : today’s interest rate on one-year dollar deposits E$/€ : today’s dollar/euro exchange rate Ee$/€ : dollar/euro exchange rate expected to prevail a year from today The expected rate of return on a euro deposit in terms of dollar=R€ +(Ee$/€ -- E$/€ )/ E$/€
R$ -- [ R€ +(Ee$/€ -- E$/€ )/ E$/€ ] Positive : dollar Negative: euro Zero: same Same Question: E$/DM =$0.7/DM Ee$/DM=$0.76/ DM RDM: 5% R$: 10%
Ⅳ. Equilibrium in the foreign exchange market ⅰ.The basic equilibrium condition -----------Interest Parity Conception Formula R$ = [ R€ +(Ee$/€ -- E$/€ )/ E$/€ ]
ⅱ.Determination of the equilibrium dollar/euro exchange rate R$ = [ R€ +(Ee$/€ -- E$/€ )/ E$/€ ] E$/€ = Ee$/€/ (R$ -- R€ +1) R$ E$/€ Ee$/€ R€
E$/€ R$ E$/€ R*€ R*€ R$ E$/€ E*$/€ R*€
the return on dollar deposits is higher that on euro deposits. No one would demand for euro deposits Excess demand for dollar Excess supply of euro The dollar/euro exchange rate falls towards E1$/€ a. At point 2 R$ E$/€ 2 E2$/€ 1 E1$/€ R*€
b. At point 3 Return on dollar deposits the return on dollar deposits is lower that on euro deposits. E$/€ No one would demand for dollar deposits 2 E2$/€ 1 E1$/€ Excess demand for euro Excess supply of dollar E3$/€ 3 The dollar/euro exchange rate falls towards E1$/€ Rate of return (in dollar terms)
c. At point 1: equilibrium the return on dollar deposits is as same as that on euro deposits. No excess demand for euro and dollar No excess supply Excess of dollar The dollar/euro exchange rate falls towards E1$/€
ⅳ.Interest rates and equilibrium A rise in the interest rate on dollars A rise in the interest rate on euro conclusion
At point 1, Dollar appreciation R$ >R* € E1 $/€E2 $/€ New equilibrium point 2 R`$ R$ E$/€ 1` 1 E1$/€ 2 E2$/€ R* €
R€ ⅠⅡ At point 1, Dollar depreciation R$ <R*€ E1$/€E2$/€ New equilibrium point 2 R$ E$/€ 2 E2$/€ Ⅱ 1 E1$/€ Ⅰ R*€ Conclusion : P347
ⅴ. The expected exchange rate and equilibrium Current exchange rate: $1.00/€ Future exchange rate: $1.05/€ The expected rate of dollar depreciation =(1.05—1.00)/1.00=5% Future exchange rate: $1.06/€The expected rate of dollar depreciation =(1.05—1.00)/1.00=5% Conclusion : P350
