    Hey,

    It is 10 July. A UK company has a US$6.65m invoice to pay on 26 August. They are concerned that exchange rate fluctuations could increase the £ cost and, hence, seek to effectively fix the £ cost using exchange traded futures. The current spot rate is $1.71110/£1.

    Research shows that £/$ futures, where the contract size is denominated in £, are available on the CME Europe exchange at the following prices:

    September expiry – 1.71035
    December expiry – 1.70865

    QUERY –
    The solution posted that the IRF Price on 26th August to be 1.65750 (see below) Can someone help me figure out how?

    Outcome on 26 August:
    On 26 August the following was true:
    Spot rate – $1.65770/£1
    September futures price – $1.65750/£1
