Foreign Exchange Rate Risk Homework Exercise 1. Suppose that the EUR:USD is trading at 1.2342; the GBP:JPY is trading at 67.7600; and the EUR:GBP is trading at 0.8265.

Suppose that the EUR:USD spot exchange rate is $1.4625. The one year interest rate in the US is 0.55% and the one year interest rate in the Euro Zone is 3.15%.
