Explain what the IP curve is and why it is upward sloping

What will be an ideal response?

The IP curve represents the combinations of i and E that maintain the interest parity condition. As i falls, foreign bonds will have a higher expected return. The demand for the dollar will fall causing an immediate depreciation. So, the drop in i causes E to fall. E will fall until all of the drop in i is offset by the expected appreciation of the dollar.
