Sir i’m not able to understand whether the opening transaction should be buy or sell? pls explain with an example?
April 12, 2021 at 8:01 am #617091If the underlying transaction is buying the currency in which the contract size is quoted, then we buy futures. If it is selling the currency in which the contract size is quoted then we sell futures.
I explain this, with examples, in my free lectures on foreign exchange risk management.
May 6, 2021 at 8:31 am #619828Hello Sir. Please is there any difference between interest rate futures and currency futures? I don’t really know the difference and I take most of the questions as interest rate futures. Can you please give me a quick illustration of both? Thank you.
May 6, 2021 at 9:10 am #6198291 clarification Mr. John. My question above was not the right question. Sorry for the mistake. I rather wanted to ask about Swap and an illustration of both. Thanks.
May 6, 2021 at 4:54 pm #619882Currency swaps in the exam are rarely asked, and when they are they are essentially interest rate swaps. I explain both in my free lectures and work through an example of an interest rate swap in my lectures.
The only recent example in the exam of a currency swap was a question called Buryecs in the June 2017 exam. You can find my replies to queries about his question by using the search box on the top bar of this page 🙂May 7, 2021 at 12:24 am #619905Ok Sir I will check it out.
May 7, 2021 at 8:13 am #619939You are welcome 🙂
