Change in the Forward Premium over Time Assume that interest rate parity exists and will continue to exist. As of today, the 1-year interest rate of Singapore is 4 percent versus 7 percent in the United States. The Singapore central bank is expected to decrease interest rates in the future so that as of December 1, you expect that the 1-year interest rate in Singapore will be 2 percent. The U.S. interest rate is not expected to change over time. Based on the information, explain how the forward premium (or discount) is expected to change by December 1.
