Interest rate parity (IRP) anticipates depreciation (appreciation) by the currency with the higher (lower) interest rate to maintain equilibrium (i.e., investor indifference). In equilibrium, 100*exp[r(b)*T]*F(0) = 100*S(0)*exp[r(q)*T] where r(b) is the base currency's interest rate and r(q) is...

Interest rate parity applies the cost of carry (COC) model to enforce an equilibrium (indifference) between two choices: 1. translate the 1,000 EURs immediately at the spot FX rate, and subsequently grow them at the USD risk-free rate for two years; or 2. hold the 1,000 EURs, grow them at the...
