An interesting paper making the point that you can too forecast foreign exchange rates. Not, of course, at the hour to hour level where people speculate at leverage of 500:1, but over longer time periods there is a predictability to, and thus the possibility of forecasting, exchange rate values. So, if the current exchange rate was 90 cents U.S. per one Canadian dollar, then the PPP would forecast an exchange rate of: Depending on the principle, the PPP approach predicts that the exchange rate will adjust by offsetting the price changes occurring due to inflation. For example, say the prices in the U.S. are predicted to go up by 4% over the next year and the prices in Australia are going to rise by only 2%. Based on these inflation rates, the PPP indicates an expected change in the exchange rate of: The U.S. and Turkish inflation rates imply a 6.34 percent appreciation in the U.S. dollar. If you use the approximation (1.64 – 8.52 = –6.88), the appreciation in the U.S. dollar becomes 6.88 percent. So, the PPP ratio of the exchange for cupcakes is $3 = ₹120, that is, $1 = ₹40. However, since cupcakes are not traded, the market exchange rate does not incorporate the fact that they are “cheaper” in India. Likewise, all non-traded goods are not represented in the market exchange rate in the two countries.

To close the loop between expected future Although it doesn't happen often, PPP is also used to set the exchange rate for new countries. It is also used to forecast future real exchange rates.
