The short-term interest rate on Sylvania’s silvo currency is 1.0% while the short-term interest rate on Freedonia’s freedo currency is 9.0%. In the spot market, one silvo buys two freedos. If interest rate parity holds, how many freedos can we expect to buy with one silvo 12 months from today? The 12-month futures contract for silvos is trading at US$0.7400; the same contract on freedos is trading at US$0.3425. If you cover a currency carry trade position with futures, is there an opportunity to profit? If so, exclusive of leverage and transactions costs, what is your annual rate of return?
