International parity conditions: Relative purchasing power parity, interest rate parity, Domestic Fisher effect, International Fisher effect. Though to some extent the above theories provide logical explanation for the fluctuations in exchange rates, yet these theories falter as they are based on challengeable assumptions [e.g., free flow of goods, services and capital] which seldom hold true in the real world.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

The following factors can influence exchange rates:

16. Theories of exchange rate
determination
Meaning:
Theories which determine the prices of forex rate
considering inflation, interest rate, and elasticity of price
etc..
Methods:
a) Long run theory
b) Short run theory
17. Long Run Theory of Exchange rate
Determination:
This are the theories which predominately take into account
the fundamental changes of economy.
Here fundamental changes refers to the change which are
going to change the economic performance of the economy
Purchasing power for all times to come.
Types of theory:
Purchasing power parity.
1) Absolute purchasing power parity.
2) Relative purchasing power parity.
Interest Rate parity
1) Covered Interest Rate parity
2) Uncovered Interest Rate parity
18. Short Run theory of exchange rate
determination
This theories are based more on current information or
immediate performance of economic variables.
This theories try to take into account the short run factor
which may be eliminated in the long run.
19. Purchasing power parity theory
Founder –Swedish economist Gustav Cassel in 1918.
Meaning : According to this theory ,the price levels and
the changes in these price levels in different countries
determine the exchanges rates of these countries
currencies.
The basic principle of this theory is that the exchange
rates between various currencies reflect the purchasing
power of these currencies .This theory is based law of
one price.
20. Absolute form of PPP Theory
If the law of one price were to hold good for each and
every commodity then the theory is termed as Absolute
form of PPP Theory.
This theory describes the link between the spot
exchange rate and price levels at a particular point of
time
21. Relative form of PPP
This theory describes the link between the changes in
spot exchange rate and in the price levels over a period
of time.
According to this theory ,changes in spot rates over a
period of time reflect the changes in the price level over
the same period in the concerned economies.
This theory relaxes three assumptions of PPP ie
Absences of transportation cost ,transaction costs and
tariffs.
22. Interest Rate Parity Theory
Definition :
The process that ensures that the annualized forward
premium or discount equals the interest rate differential on
equivalent securities in two currencies.
International Fisher effect:
Expected Rate of change = Interest rate of the exchange
rate differential
Interest Rate = Real Interest Expected Differential Rate
+ inflation rate
23. Modern theory: demand & supply
theory
The most satisfactory explanation of the determination
of the rate of exchange is that a free exchange rate
tends to be such as to equate the demand and supply of
foreign exchange..
The intersection of supply curve and demand curve gives
the equilibrium price
Modern theory also called balance of payments theory of
foreign exchange
24. Foreign Exchange Risk
Exposure to exchange rate movement.
Any sale or purchase of foreign currency
entails foreign exchange risk.
Foreign exchange transaction affects the
net asset or net liability position of the
buyer/seller.
Carrying net assets or net liability position
in any currency gives rise to exchange
risk.
25. Risk management
Controlling losses
You could control your losses, by mental stop or hard stop. Mental
stop means that you already set you limit of your loss. A hard stop
is your initiative to stop when you think you must to stop it.
Using correct lot size
As a beginning just use smaller lots you could stay flexible and
logic than emotions while you trade.
Tracking overall exposure
sample: you go to short on EUR/USD and long on USD/CHF, you
exposed two times for USD in the same direction. If USD goes
down , you have a double dose of pain. So, keep your overall
exposure limited, it keeps you for the long haul for trading
The bottom line
Trading is about opportunities, you must take action while the
opportunities arise.
