bablig why not a? can anybody explain
rlabog the real FX rate (q) = average q + nominal yield spread - inflation spread - risk premium spread

if the spread is narrow, the value is small. If you want to exert upward pressure on q, you should have a large average q, large nominal yield spread, small inflation spread, small risk premium spread
