    Dear Sir, Good afternoon,

    I have summarized some high points below. Please kindly to have a look.

    1. Exporter hedging against an exchange rate INCREASE will SELL exchange rate future NOW and BUY them at a FUTURE date.
    2. Importer hedging against an exchange rate DECREASE will BUY exchange rate future NOW and SELL them at a FUTURE date.
    3. Borrower hedging against an interest rate INCREASE will SELL interest rate future NOW and BUY them at a FUTURE date.
    4. Lender hedging against an interest rate DECREASE will BUY interest rate future now and SELL them at a FUTURE date.

    5. Exporter can use a PUT option to hedge against exchange rate INCREASE.
    6. Importer can use a CALL option to hedge against exchange rate DECREASE.
    7.Borrower can use a PUT option to hedge against interest rate INCREASE.
    8. Lender can use a CALL option to hedge against interest rate DECREASE.

    Thank you so much.

    1 & 2 Depends on what currency the futures contacts are quoted in (as against which currency we are wanting to buy or sell).

    3 & 4 are correct

    5 & 6 Depends on what the currencies are (see 1 & 2)

    7 & 8 are correct
