Suppose the dollar interest rate and the pound sterling interest rate are the same, 5 percent per year. What is the relation between the current equilibrium S/£ exchange rate and its expected future level? Suppose the expected future $$ / f$ exchange rate, $$ 1.52$ per pound, remains constant as Britain's interest rate rises to 10 percent per year. If the U.S. interest rate also remains constant, what is the new equilibrium S/E exchange rate?

If $\$ 1$ is traded for 1 euro and $\$ 1.40$ is traded for $£ 1$, what is the exchange rate between the euro and the pound sterling? Can the dollar appreciate against the euro but not against the pound?
Due to the integrated nature of their capital markets, investors in both the United States and the U.K. require the same real interest rate, 2.5 percent, on their lending. There is a consensus in capital markets that the annual inflation rate is likely to be 3.5 percent in the United States and 1.5 percent in the U.K. for the next three years. The spot exchange rate is currently $1.50/£. a. Compute the nominal interest rate per annum in both the United States and the U.K., assuming that the Fisher effect holds. b. What is your expected future spot dollar-pound exchange rate in three years from now? c. Can you infer the forward dollar-pound exchange rate for one-year maturity?
