Why currency forward rate formula is below?
instead of
F= S*(1+RA)^T/(1+RB)^T ; T= (days/360)
I think it’s more close to forward rate general form F=S* (1+R)^T??
The Economics reading assumes that interest rates are nominal (e.g., LIBOR) while the Derivatives reading assumes that they’re effective.
I wrote an article on this: http://financialexamhelp123.com/mark-to-market-value-of-a-currency-forward-contract/. At the bottom there’s a reconciliation of the Econ and Derivatives formulae.
