TRADING ECONOMICS provides forecasts for major currency exchange rates, forex crosses and crypto currencies based on its analysts expectations and proprietary global macro models. The current forecasts were last revised on March 13 of 2020. The floating exchange rates, as discussed previously are determined by the market focus of demand and supply. These are not influenced by government intervention. Fixed exchange rates, on the other hand, are decided by the regulating agencies. Methods of forecasting exchange rates. The floating exchange rates may be forecasted with the help of various methods. Market-based forecasting of exchange rates is flawed because it is based on two hypotheses that are not supported by empirical evidence: the simple random walk hypothesis and the unbiased market-based forecasting. 1. Investment: The act of determining future spot prices for a tradable asset. Exchange rates or interest rates are used in forecasting to compare current pricing with future pricing. This chapter deals with market-based forecasting that involves using the current spot and forward exchange rates to forecast the spot rate at some future point in time. This is called market-based The PPP approach forecasts that the exchange rate will change to offset price changes due to inflation based on this underlying principle. To use the above example, suppose that the prices of Real exchange rate forecasting includes, either implicitly or explicitly, a forecast of relative inflation rates in conjunction with the nominal exchange rate. The real exchange rate forecast would be more useful to managers planning longer-term investment projects. A nominal exchange rate forecast is more important for currency traders, and financial managers who hold nominal assets, such as bonds. 7. Explain the limitations of the regression method for forecasting future exchange rates
Investors and traders use several forecasting models in the course of decision-making; this includes investing in foreign markets. This lesson will cover methods for forecasting exchange rates. Thus, exchange rate forecasting is very important to evaluate the benefits and risks attached to the international business environment. : International transactions are usually settled in the near future. Exchange rate forecasts are necessary toevaluate the foreign denominated cash flows involved in international transactions. Explain the market-based technique for forecasting exchange rates. What is the rationale for using market-based forecasts? If the euro appreciates substantially against the dollar during a specific period, would market-based forecasts have overestimated or underestimated the realized values over this period?

Explain the limitations of the regression method for forecasting future exchange rates A9 - 7 • Fundamental forecasting is based on the fundamental relationships between economic variables and exchange rates. • A forecast may arise simply from a subjective assessment of the factors that affect exchange rates. • A forecast may be based on quantitative measurements (with the aid of regression models and sensitivity analysis) too.
