Which of the following statements is CORRECT? Currency risk in carry trades is typically hedged. An appreciation of high-yielding currencies is the main risk in carry trade. The absolute purchasing power parity predicts that price levels will be the same across countries. The Big-Mac index was invented by The Economist in 1986 as a lighthearted guide to whether currencies are at their \"correct\" level. It is based on the relative purchasing-power parity. Carry trade is a strategy of going short (betting the foreign exchange value will fall) in a high- interest rate currency such as the Mexican Peso, while simultaneously going long (betting the foreign exchange value will rise) in a low-interest rate currency such as the Japanese yen.

Perfect financial market integration implies that relative purchasing power parity and covered interest rate parity give similar forecasts of the future spot rate, irrespective of the expectations hypothesis. Given these three nominal exchange rates: USD1.351/GBP, EUR1.19/GBP and USD0.88/EUR an arbitrage opportunity does not exist. The following spot rate is an indirect quote outside the US: DKK34.18-25/USD. Under PPP theory, if the expected rate of inflation in the US is 5% and the expected rate of inflation in Japan is 3%, then the USD/JPY forward rate will be at a premium to the spot rate such that returns in both countries are equalized. More than one of these statements are correct.
