I’m having a really hard time reconciling the effects that interest rates and inflation have on exchange rates.
Suppose we have Currency A, Currency B, and exchange rate A/B. Under what circumstances will the exchange rate depreciate?
However, I’m totally lost when it comes to the effect of the inflation rate differential. I know that B would depreciate relative to A under PPP, but that’s not right, apparently. Moreover, I have no idea what the third choice even means. Help?

- inflation differential narrows
- nominal interest rate differential narrows
- currency A’s long-term equilibrium is revised upward
