Global gains, shielded from market volatility.
Dr. Anya Sharma, a successful physician and owner of a small medical practice, was presented with a unique opportunity: a six-month locum tenens position in Australia offering significantly higher compensation than her current income. However, the salary was denominated in Australian dollars (AUD), and Anya was concerned about the potential impact of currency fluctuations between the AUD and the USD on her actual take-home pay and ability to service her substantial student loan debt.
Using Golden Door Asset's Interest Rate Parity Calculator, we analyzed the current spot exchange rate between AUD and USD, alongside the risk-free interest rates in both countries. This allowed us to estimate the expected future exchange rate and assess the potential range of her USD-equivalent earnings. By factoring in the forward rate from our Forward Rate Calculator, Anya could see the potential to hedge her currency risk by entering into a forward contract. This offered a guaranteed exchange rate, eliminating uncertainty, and ultimately ensuring she could net approximately $25,000 more after factoring in student loan payments.
The Interest Rate Parity Calculator provided a baseline expectation for future exchange rates. The Forward Rate Calculator was used to evaluate hedging strategies, allowing Anya to lock in a favorable exchange rate and mitigate potential losses due to currency depreciation.
