Suppose you observe that 90 -day interest rate across the eurozone is 7%, while the interest rate in the U.S. over the same time period is 3%. Further, the spot rate and the 90 -day forward rate on the euro are both $1.60. You have $800,000 that you wish to use in order to engage in covered interest arbitrage. To start, you exchange your $800,000 for euros, and deposit the funds in a bank in the eurozone. To lock in the exchange rate (for when you convert the euros back to dollars), you euros forward at a forward rate of $1.60
