The three-month forward exchange rate is USD/SGD = (5.2130-0.0160)/(5.2160-0.010) = 5.
The forward exchange rate is expressed in points, which means that the forward exchange rate is lower than the spot exchange rate, the forward foreign exchange rate is discounted, and the benchmark currency, the US dollar, depreciates.
Twelve-month forward exchange rate: USD/SGD = (5.2130+0.0020)/(5.2160+0.0080) = 5.2150/5.2240.
The forward exchange rate is expressed in points, that is, the forward exchange rate is higher than the spot exchange rate, the forward foreign exchange rate rises, and the benchmark currency, the US dollar, appreciates.
