2. Relative to this currency, did the U.S. dollar appreciate or depreciate since the beginning of the year (YTD stands for Year to Date)?
3. How many Japanese Yens equal one Euro? Alternatively, calculate this rate using the U.S. equivalent rate for the Euro and the Yen. Show your work!
4. Consider the six-month forward market. What is the U.S.$ equivalent forward rate for the Canadian dollar? Is the forward Canadian dollar exchange rate selling at premium or discount compared to the spot Canadian dollar exchange rate? Explain why!
