Forward premium anomaly

Forward premium anomaly

The forward premium anomaly in currency markets refers to the well documented empirical finding that the domestic currency is expected to appreciate when domestic nominal interest rates exceed foreign interest rates. This is puzzling because economic theory and intuition suggests that international investors would demand higher interest rates on currencies expected to "fall" in value.
