    Hello Sir, can you please please help me understand about buying/selling futures in managing Exchange rate risk

    I’m super confused,, I have watched your lectures but i really dont understand about how do we check whether we should buy or sell?

    it’s different in different examples and I dont understand the key to crack this…

    I do explain this in the lectures.

    However it depends what currency the contract size is quoted in.

    If the contract size in in $’s, then if the transaction involves buying $’s we will buy futures. If the transaction involves selling $’s then we will sell futures.

    (The same applies whatever currency the contracts are quoted in, but in the exam it will almost certainly be in $’s.)
