Exam-Like
A
Covered interest rate parity holds, among other reasons, because the amount of currency that will be obtained from investing in either the domestic or the foreign currency is certain.
B
Uncovered interest rate parity is a no-arbitrage theorem that incorporates each country's inflation rate into the covered interest rate parity formula to predict future exchange rates.
C
Forward rates are found using the covered interest rate parity theorem by multiplying the spot rate by the ratio of 1 plus the risk-free interest rate in the base currency to 1 plus the risk-free interest rate in the quote currency raised to the time to maturity.
D
Forward points, when expressed as a percentage of the spot rate, can be used to determine the interest rate and inflation differential in uncovered interest rate parity.
