This project involves being assigned a currency contract and collecting exchange rate data between two currencies over a five year period. Students must analyze the data and present statistical summaries in an Excel file, including the mean, standard deviation, minimum, maximum, and a graph of exchange rate behavior. Students must also research the assigned currency contract and present a summary in a PowerPoint presentation. The summary must describe exchange rate movements, key influencing events and factors, and identify five organizations that used the contract for trading or hedging. Sources must be cited. The project has two parts worth 30% and 70% respectively.
