Suppose the spot exchange rate for the euro two years ago was $1.25/€, while the spot exchange rate today is $1.20/€. Over the past two years, suppose that inflation in Euroland has been 4% per year, while inflation in the U.S. has been 1% per year. By how much has the euro appreciated or depreciated in nominal terms (i.e., in the market) over the past two years? Is this correct? 1/1.25 = 0.8 EUR, 1/1.20 = 0.8334 EUR, so 0.8334 - 0.8 / 0.8 = +4.175%.
