The currency strategy carry trade consists of financing in currencies with low interest rates and investing in currencies with high interest rates. As several studies show, the carry trade is a strategy that can sharply depreciate the exchange rate and impact investment currencies, which are typically currencies of emerging countries. The Peruvian sol being a high risk currency is commonly used as an investment currency. The main hypothesis of this research is that the carry trade activity between the US dollar and the Peruvian sol, measured by the net position of non-deliverable forward contracts of local banks, generates a negative skewness of the exchange rate returns, is that is, a currency crash risk, during the period 2007-2011. For this research, the works of Brunnermeier et al. of 2009, Cox and Carreño of 2016 and Gamboa-Estrada of 2017 are used as a basis. The hypothesis and methodology of the first work are taken. On the basis of statistics for five currencies, it is found that the interest rate parity is not fulfilled; the carry trade is a profitable strategy on average. Likewise, it is found that there is evidence that the carry trade between the US dollar and the Peruvian sol shows a currency crash risk.
