Assume the following: • The interest rate in the Euro area is 3%. • The interest rate in Japan is 2%. • The current nominal exchange rate is 147 (£1 = 147 Yen). • The expected nominal exchange rate next year is 146. Question: How many pounds would a UK resident expect to earn for each pound invested in Japanese bonds for one year? (Answer in the x.xx format, e.g. 1.23 to represent £1.23)

Click on the link below, which will lead you to the WSJ currencies page, and focus on three currencies: USD, GBP, and CHF. Use the quoted exchange rates between USD and GBP, and between USD and CHF to calculate the implied cross rate between GBP and CHF. By comparing this implied rate with the quoted cross rate, do you think a clear and significant triangular arbitrage opportunity exists? If yes, design a possible trade to capitalize. If no, explain why. https://www.wsj.com/market-data/currencies
