This is an option on a specified short-term interest rate for a specified notional loan or deposit.
This theory describes the expected relationship between [[Spot rate|spot]] and [[Forward forward rate|forward forward exchange rates]], and the [[Interest rate|interest rates]] in the related currency pair.
A borrower normally wants a guarantee that their hedged rate payable will be 'no higher than' a specified worst case rate.


A lender or investor normally wants a guarantee that their hedged rate receivable will be 'no less than' a specified worst case rate.
Under efficient market conditions the interest rate parity theory predicts that the forward FX rate (available in the market today) should be equal to the spot FX rate, adjusted for the difference in interest rates between the currency pair over the relevant period.

This theory describes the expected relationship between spot and forward forward exchange rates, and the interest rates in the related currency pair.

Under efficient market conditions the interest rate parity theory predicts that the forward FX rate (available in the market today) should be equal to the spot FX rate, adjusted for the difference in interest rates between the currency pair over the relevant period.
