About the markets inflation expectations

Reference no: EM13322139

If the spot rate for British pounds is 0.57 pounds equals 1 US $, and the annual interest rate on fixed rate one-year deposits of pounds is 3.5% and for US$ is 2.5%, what is the ten-month forward rate for one dollar in terms of pounds? Assuming the same interest rates, what is the 18-month forward rate for one pound in dollars? Is this an indirect or a direct rate? If the forward rate is an accurate predictor of exchange rates, in this case will the pound get stronger or weaker against the dollar? What does this indicate about the market’s inflation expectations in the UK compared to the US?
