DOUBT: for 15:00, why wouldn't A be a better option for Q2 of example 6. Euro could be expected to depreciate for a variety of reasons that may not be part of the example (impending doom). Where maybe even the low interest rate may not be able to negate that effect. Ergo, A is a safer option (stays true in more situations than C)

for the very last example with 270-day LIBOR rates: I'm getting 0.84852 (you're showing 0.84862) for the forward rate when making that calculation - should it be 0.84852? ( credit to Ted Andersson in comment section) Therefore, the forward point should be -4 instead of -2.8. Hope IFT team will clarify on this. Thank you IFT Team.

In the last example, LIBOR rates are given for 270 days, so why are we multiplying the rates by 270/360? multiplying means that we are considering the rates for 360 days

If the forward contracts is for x days, make an adjustment based on x/360 convention unless told otherwise. forward rate is calculated as: IFT Support Team

5:45 your formula is different from the formula given by Curriculum F f/d = S f/d (1 + if) / (1 + id) so F b/p = S b/p (1 + ib) / (1 + ip) Instead of F p/b = Sp/b (1 + ip) / (1 + ib) correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks IFT!

15:04 You gave the correct answer as C. Does that mean that A is wrong, or A is also right but not the best interpretation? I am asking this because as far as I am concerned the minus sign forward rate means that the base currency depreciated as it will be able to buy less price currency.

In the french company example is the GBP/EUR value is decreasing, shouldn't that mean the company can buy lesser amount of GBP with 1 euro ? If so, then why is the company selling GBP , shouldn't they be buying it ?
@IFT-CFA5 жыл бұрын
The French company is receiving payments in GBP. It would want to convert the GBP to its domestic currency, the EUR (it wants to sell GBP, buy EUR). Hence, if GBP is depreciating or EUR is appreciating, it would buy EUR and sell GBP. IFT support team

@15:42 shouldn’t the quoted 12 month forward rate be quoted as 4 decimals after the comma? which gives us the reason to multiply by 10 000 later
@sruthihariprasad31485 жыл бұрын
So can we say: 1. To convert forward points to forward rate: FP/10,000÷SR X 100. 2. To find forward rate: SR - FP/10,0000. 3. To find forward points: FR - SR X10,000. ?
@IFT-CFA5 жыл бұрын
To convert forward points into a forward rate, divide the points by 10,000 if the exchange rate uses a four decimal place convention and by 100 if the exchange rate uses a two decimal place convention, and then add to the spot rate.FR = SR + (FP/10,000)FR-SR = FP /10,000FP = (FR - SR)*10,000 IFt support team
