In this textbook, we will use the following notation for spot rate quotations. In gen- eral, S(j/k) will refer to the price of one unit of currency k in terms of currency j. Thus, the American term quote from Exhibit 5.7 for the British pound on Wednesday, April 3 is S($/) = 1.3158. The corresponding European quote is S(T$) = .7600. When the context is clear as to what terms the quotation is in, the less cumbersome S will be used to denote the spot rate. It should be intuitive that the American and European term quotes are reciprocals of one another.
