will prob see this stuff on the exam.. just remember general conceptions. The core concept in all of these is that FX relations are arbitraged
Parity = equal = arbitraged
Purchasing Power Parity - relates to price levels (so think of inflation)
Interest Rate Parity - relates to interest rates (nominal so think of interest rates)
Covered - hedge
Uncovered - unhedged
Expected - well you guested it expected rathers in the future
Fisher - you take macro econ in college? Irving Fisher was prob one of the greatest macroeconomist in the early 20th century after Keynes. He formulated the relationship between nominal rates, real rates, and inflation.

Absolute purchasing power parity: Exchange rate movement is related to price of a single product.
Relative purchasing power parity: Exchange rate movement is related to inflation rate (CPI).
International fisher relation: Interest rate differential relation to expected inflation rate differential.
Covered Interest rate parity: Forward Exchange rate relation to Interest rate differential.
Uncovered interest rate parity: Expected Exchange rate relation to Interest rate differential
Foreign exchange expectation relation: Forward Exchange rate relation to Expected Exchange rate movement.
I can’t think of a shorter short cut.

Not necessarily.

BiPolarBoyBoston wrotearity = equal = arbitraged

Parity means equality. It doesn’t mean it’s arbitraged. Or even arbitrageable.

BiPolarBoyBoston wroteurchasing Power Parity - relates to price levels (so think of inflation)

Generally not arbitrageable.

Arbitraged.

BiPolarBoyBoston wrote:Uncovered - unhedged

Not arbitraged.

BiPolarBoyBoston wrote:Expected - well you guested it expected rathers in the future

Not arbitraged.
