    Hi,

    Would you mind helping me with this question?

    The current spot rate of the US $ against the £ is $/£ 1.8420
    Interest in the US is 5% per year. Interest in the UK is 4% per year.
    what would you expect the three month forward rate to be?

    the answer is $/£ 1.8466 (I need to understand the calculation to get to this answer)

    Thank you in advance,

    SP

    The three month interest rates are:
    US 5 x 3/12 = 1.25%
    UK 4 x 3/12 = 1%

    Using the interest rate parity formula,
    the forward rate in 3 months = 1.8466 x 1.0125/1.01 = 1.8512
