Answer:
The interest rate is higher in the US.
Explanation:
The forward price is calculated using the following formula,
F= S ( 1+Rd / 1+Rf)^t
where,
- F = Forward rate
- S = Spot rate
- Rd = Nominal interest rate in domestic market
- Rf = Nominal interest rate in foreign market
- t = time in years
We consider that the domestic market is the US and the domestic currency is the USD. Thus, it is a direct quote where 1 EUR = 1.3 USD
The forward price ER is more than the Sport ER only when the interest rate in domestic market is more than the interest rate in foreign market and as a result, the value of domestic currency against a foreign currency in the forward market depreciates.
We can see this by the following example,
Say Spot rate is $1.3 per 1 EUR and the interest rate in US is 10% while that in Euro zone is 5%. When we calculate the forward ER we will see that 1 EUR will buy us more USD in forward (more than 1.3 USD)
F= 1.3 * (1.1 / 1.05)^1 => $1.362 PER 1EUR
