    Good evening John,

    Sorry to ask this.

    Collar hedging part –

    If interest rate decreases by 0.5% to 2.8%, the answer says we exercise the SELL CALL, when future price is 97.02, while Exercise price is 96.50.

    It shows as a loss on exercise, why do we exericse?

    Loss = 52 tick X Euro 25 x 37 contract = Euro 48,100
    Is it a gain, actually?

    Thanks John.

    It is not ‘us’ who will exercise – it is the person who bought the option from us who will exercise the option because they will gain. Therefore we will have to pay out to them and it is a loss to us.

    Do read my free note on the way that collars work.
