Haha, this is too easy. The answer is clearly D - my crystal ball is in the shop, so I can't predict the future. What kind of question is this anyway?

You're right, I didn't consider that. It could be C) Interest rate in the quoted currency.

I'm going with C. The quoted currency rate is crucial, otherwise how would you know the real value of the forward contract? Duh!

I see your point, but I still think C is the correct answer. The interest rate in the quoted currency plays a significant role in determining the fair value.

I agree with you, but I'm leaning towards D. Having a view on where rates will be at the forward date can also impact the fair value.

It's gotta be A! The spot rate is the foundation, everything else just adjusts the price from there. This question is a piece of cake!

Hmm, I think the correct answer is D. The forward FX price is determined by the spot rate, interest rates in both currencies, and the time to maturity. Your personal views on future rates shouldn't factor in.
