	Foreign Exchange (Forex or FX) Glossary of Terms - Forex Capital Management
		The base currency with the higher interest rate is said to be at a discount to the lower interest rate quoted currency in the forward market.
		Similarly, the lower interest rate base currency is said to be at a premium, and the forward points are added to the spot rate to obtain the forward rate.
		The only exception to this general rule is the spot day in the quoting centre coinciding with a banking holiday in the country(ies) of the foreign currency(ies).

	Theoretical Spot Rate Curve Calculation
		Overall, the spot rate curve has shifted proportionally for the month of September, decreasing with an average of 8 basis points on all maturities.
		This decline might be viewed as a consequence of the lower-than-expected Canadian inflation rate for the month of August (inflation slowed to 1.9 per cent in August from 2.3 per cent in July).
		Spot rate curve is used, as well for the creation of the forward rate curve, which in its turn is used in the Heath-Jarrow-Morton model.

		If the equilibrium rate that the market would set on its own (shown by the intersection of the private or nonofficial demand and supply curves) is outside of this band, then the officials must do something to prevent the actual rate from moving outside of the band.
		Or, she can wait until the future and convert currencies at the spot exchange rate that exists at that date in the future, in which case she has an uncovered international investment, and she is exposed to exchange rate risk.
		The cross rate between the yen and the krone is too high (the yen value of the krone is too high) relative to the dollar-foreign currency exchange rates.

		As previously discussed, the forward rates are closely related to the spot rates and interest rates of the two countries.
		A result of the IRP theory is that for the country with the higher interest rate, its currency is weaker in the forward market than in the spot market.
		As shown in the previous example, the Canadian interest rate was higher than the US interest rate, and the resulting theoretical forward rate was 1.3521 CAD/USD, compared with the spot rate of 1.3500 CAD/USD.

	Strong pound cannot do a lot of harm in flexible economy New Labour Inherited - Daily Telegraph 18 February 2002
		The difference between the spot and forward rates of exchange are purely and simply a reflection of the interest rate differential between the two currencies concerned.
		If Euro and sterling one-year deposit rates were the same, then the rate for sterling in one year's time against the euro would be basically the same as the spot rate.
		The forward rate reflects expectations of what will happen (otherwise anyone anywhere in the world could make money by specuating against the forward rate); the spot rate then also adjusts, is arbitraged, to be consistent with it.

	FX Forwards - London FX Ltd
		Forward traders are therefore interest rate traders, and as such, some banks include FX forward traders under their interest rate division rather than their FX division.
		Rather than being part of the spot rate, forward points are an adjustment to the spot rate to reflect the interest rate differential.
		The rate for an FX forward trade (also known as a “forward outright”, “outright forward” or simply an “outright”) is calculated by adding the spot rate and the forward points together.

	Exchange Rate Primer
		Lets use E notation and denote the spot rate at time [t] as s[t], and the forward rate at time [t] for a contract of length [l] as f[t,l].
		In other words, a positive difference between the forward rate and the spot rate is called a forward premium, and a negative difference is called a forward discount.
		If you spot a difference between two places where a currency is traded, you can buy it in the place where it is cheap and sell it where it is expensive.

	SSRN-Modelling Spot Rate Process in the Russian Treasury Bills Market by Sergey Drobyshevsky
		Estimated parameters of the spot rate process indicate that the Russian market for government securities by its features is closer to the European financial markets compared to the market for US Treasury bills.
		This conclusion is supported by estimates of parameters of the GKO spot rate stochastic process using both the GMM and QML estimates of spot rate nonlinear models.
		The spot rate stochastic process is mean-reverting, but its variance although being stochastic does not exhibit mean-reverting property (according to Kalman filter estimates).

	The Foreign Exchange Market
		A test of whether the forward rate equals the expected future spot rate is really a joint test of three hypotheses; the efficient markets hypothesis, the hypothesis that the risk premium is zero (or, depending on the test, constant) and and an hypothesis about how expectations of the future spot rate are formed.
		Their best prediction of next period's real exchange rate is the current period's value so, under the assumption that all agents are risk neutral (so the risk premium will be equal to 0), the forward rate f(t) (in logarithms) will equal s(t) and the forward discount will then be zero.
		This means that variations in hedging pressure may lead to deviations of the forward rate from the expected future spot rate of the sort that we have been incorporating in the error term u(t).

		However, the interest rate data from Data Stream International (DS) were also quite good, and more of the data contamination is likely to lie in the less heavily traded forward rates than in the spot rates themselves.
		Short of purchasing the DRI data, the next best solution would be to use one of the spot rates provided here in conjunction with the DS interest rate series (available for all but Australia).
		As mentioned above, the spot, forward and interest rate data from DRI are covered by a confidentiality agreement and are therefore not included in this archive.

	General Discussion - Any easy way to answer spot rate problems
		I have no problems with that stuff because I think of forward rates as of the GROWTH rates from say Tn to Tn+1.
		Spot rates give us information of how much one dollar will cost in n and n+1 years; just devide n+1 value by n value and enjoy a spot rate.
		This seems to be rather efficient way to do with more complex problems like two-year forward rates in three years.

	EconPapers: Cointegration and Forward and Spot Exchange Rate Regressions
		Abstract: In this paper we investigate in detail the relationship between models of cointegration between the current spot exchange rate, st, and the current forward rate, ft, and models of cointegration between the future spot rate, st+1, and ft and the implications of this relationship for tests of the forward rate unbiasedness hypothesis (FRUH).
		We argue that simple models of cointegration between st and ft more easily capture the stylized facts of typical exchange rate data than simple models of cointegration between st+1 and ft and so serve as a natural starting point for the analysis of exchange rate behavior.
		We show that simple models of cointegration between st and ft imply rather complicated models of cointegration between st+1 and ft. As a result, standard methods are often not appropriate for modeling the cointegrated behavior of (st+1, ft)' and we show that the use of such methods can lead to erroneous inferences regarding the FRUH.
