In this exercise, we take a look at the currency carry trade. Sheet Part IIA includes the end of month exchange rate USD/AUD and JPY/USD. Sheet Part IIB includes the monthly interest rates for USA, Japan and Australia. The period is 31-Jan-2003 to 31-Dec-2021. Note: To be consistent, we will use the quote 1AUD = USD, 1USD = JPY, and 1AUD = JPY, in answers to all of the questions in this part.
-
Report the mean, standard deviation, skewness, kurtosis and maximum and minimum of the interest rate differences between JPY and USD, and between USD and AUD. (5 marks)
