how did we know the unexpired basis months as nowhere the dates have been given
March 7, 2024 at 8:26 am #702271also why is the predicted lock in rate added here when in question gogarth it was subtracted
March 7, 2024 at 9:19 am #702273why are we taking the higher spot rate here since its not $ to CHF arent we supposed to take the lower rate
March 7, 2024 at 4:47 pm #702312We do not need dates because the transaction is in 4 months time and we know the futures prices for futures maturing in 3 months time and in 4 months time.
March 7, 2024 at 4:48 pm #702313The futures prices and the current spot rates must converge towards zero, and therefore the lock-in rate is always between the two. That determines whether we add or subtract.
March 7, 2024 at 4:49 pm #702314I explain how to decide which rate to use in the first of my free lectures on foreign exchange risk management.
