1. Exchange $1,000 for £500 at the prevailing spot rate. 2. Invest £500 for one year at i£ = 2.49%; earn £512.45. 3. Translate £512.45 back into dollars at the forward rate F360($/£) = $2.01/£. The £512.45 will be worth $1,030.
Step 1: Borrow $1,000. More F£(360) $1,030 < £ 512.45 × than $1,030 Step 5: Repay £ 1 your dollar loan with $1,030. If F£(360) > $2.01/£ £ , 512.45 will be more than enough to repay your dollar obligation of $1,030. The excess is your profit.

Arbitrage Strategy II
If F360($/£) < $2.01/£: 1. Borrow £500 at t = 0 at i£= 2.49%. 2. Exchange £500 for $1,000 at the prevailing spot rate; invest $1,000 at 3% for one year to achieve $1,030. 3. Translate $1,030 back into pounds; if F360($/£) < $2.01/£, then $1,030 will be more than enough to repay your debt of £512.45.

Interest Rate Parity
– – – – Covered Interest Arbitrage IRP and Exchange Rate Determination Currency Carry Trade Reasons for Deviations from IRP
A trader with $1,000 could invest in the U.S. at 3.00%. In one year his investment will be worth: $1,030 = $1,000 (1+ i$) = $1,000 (1.03) Alternatively, this trader could:
F360($/£) = $2.01/£
Why?
If F360($/£) $2.01/£, an astute trader could make money with one of the following strategies.

Arbitrage Strategy I
If F360($/£) > $2.01/£: 1. Borrow $1,000 at t = 0 at i$ = 3%. 2. Exchange $1,000 for £500 at the prevailing spot rate (note that £500 = $1,000 ÷ $2/£.); invest £500 at 2.49% (i£) for one year to achieve £512.45. 3. Translate £512.45 back into dollars; if F360($/£) > $2.01/£, then £512.45 will be more than enough to repay your debt of $1,030.

S$/£
Since these investments have the same risk, they must have the same future value (otherwise an arbitrage would exist). F$/£ (1 + i$) = (1 + i$) F$/£= S$/£× (1 + i£) × (1 + i£ ) S$/£
…almost all of the time!

Interest Rate Parity Carefully Defined
Consider alternative one-year investments for $100,000: 1. Invest in the U.S. at i$. Future value = $100,000 × (1 + i$). 2. Trade your $ for £ at the spot rate and invest $100,000/S$/£in Britain at i£ while eliminating any exchange rate risk by selling the future value of the British investment $100,000(1 + i )×F$/£ Future value = forward.

Interest Rate Parity Defined
IRP is a “no arbitrage” condition. If IRP did not hold, then it would be possible for an astute trader to make unlimited amounts of money by exploiting the arbitrage opportunity. Since we don’t typically observe persistent arbitrage conditions, we can safely assume that IRP holds.

Interest Rate Parity Carefully Defined
No matter how you quote the exchange rate ($ per ¥ or ¥ per $) to find a forward rate, increase the dollars by the dollar rate and the foreign currency by the foreign currency rate:

(1+ i£) × F$/£
Interest Rate Parity Defined
The scale of the project is unimportant. $1,000 (1+ i£) × F$/£ = $1,000×(1 + i$) S$/£ F$/£ × (1+ i£) (1 + i$) = S$/£ IRP is sometimes approximated as: i$ – i£ ≈ F – S S
or F¥/$ = S¥/$ F$/¥= S$/¥ × × …be careful—it’s easy to get this wrong.

IRP and Covered Interest Arbitrage
If IRP failed to hold, an arbitrage would exist. It’s easiest to see this in the form of an example. Consider the following set of foreign and domestic interest rates and spot and forward exchange rates.

Since both of these investments have the same risk, they must have the same future value—otherwise an arbitrage would exist.
