Explanation:
According to the Covered Interest Rate Parity (CIP) framework, the forward rate is calculated as: F = S × (1 + R_quote) / (1 + R_base)
Given:
Calculating the forward rate: F = 110.00 × (1 + 0.0045) / (1 + 0.0250) F = 110.00 × (1.0045) / (1.0250) F = 110.495 / 1.0250 = 107.80
The implied one-year "swap rate" is the difference between the forward FX rate and the spot FX rate: Swap rate = F(USDJPY) - S(USDJPY) Swap rate = 107.80 - 110.00 = -2.20 JPY
