Make sure the following points are addressed:

• Description and dimensions of the issue; specify boundaries of your study.
• Why is this a problem that needs to be addressed? (Include quantitative and qualitative reasons. Integrate/analyze the data to demonstrate the importance of addressing the problem.)

• What approaches have been taken to date to address this issue?
• What are the deficiencies of these approaches?
• Analyze the problem using at least three of the concepts and theories presented in the textbook, assigned readings, videos, blogs, and class discussions as well as information gathered during the problem definition and your experiences.

– THE FINAL ASSIGNMENT –

For this assignment you need to use the Bloomberg Database, which is available for you
at Douglas Hall Room 170- CME Training Lab. In order to be able to work on the
Bloomberg terminal, please refer to the document titled
“Bloomberg_Workshop_Material” uploaded on the Blackboard.

Part 1:
1) From Bloomberg, download the exchange rates of at least 6 foreign currencies (at
least 2 of them have to be from emerging markets) including the US dollar.
(The number of currencies depends on your choice, the more the better)

2) Compute the one-year appreciation or depreciation of each currency against the US
dollar year to year within your chosen time window.
(The time window depends on your choice, the longer the better).
($: US dollar, X: The foreign currency that you have chosen)
St(X/$) = Beginning Rate
St+1(X/$) = Ending Rate
The % appreciation (or depreciation) in X can be calculated as;
[(Ending Rate – Beginning Rate) / Beginning Rate] x 100

3) Explore recent exchange rate trends for the pairs of countries that you have selected
(the time window depends on your choice, the longer the better). To plot trends,
download the series to a spreadsheet.

4) Try to plot examples of some fixed and floating rates. Can you tell from the data,
which countries are fixed and which are floating? Please justify and explain your
conclusions

5) In the plots, can you locate data for an exchange rate crisis within your time-window?

Part 2:

1) (In order to complete this part of your assignment, please refer to your lecture notes
on Uncovered Interest Arbitrage)

Imagine you are a carry trader. Obtain 15-day Swap rates for some major currencies
(Remember to divide the obtained swap rates by 24): US dollar, pound, euro, Japanese
yen, Swiss franc, Canadian dollar, and Austrian dollar (The number of currencies
depends on your choice, the more the better) Find the lowest yield currency and call it X.
How much interest would you pay in X units after borrowing X 1,000,000 for 15 days?
(Remember that the raw data are annualized rates.) Obtain the exchange rate between
X and every other high yield currency Y. For each Y, compute how much X would be
worth in Y units today, and then in 15 days time with Y-currency interest added. Revisit
this question in 15 days time, find the spot rates at the moment, and compute the
resulting profit from each carry trade. Did any of your imaginary trade pay off?
