Essay Questions
Suppose that the U.S. dollar-pound sterling spot exchange rate equals $1.60/￡, while the 360-day forward rate is $1.64/￡. The yield on a
one-year U.S. Treasury bill is 9% and on a one-year U.K. Treasury bill the yield is 8%. Calculate the covered interest differential in favor of London. On the basis of this result, which country would you expect to face capital inflows and which to face capital outflows? 36。 cd=0.017
