Currency questions

Hi john could you help with this please? In June 14 and June 2011, the forex question asked for a hedging strategy. When using options, the answer used a forward rate to hedge the under hedged element. However they do not do this when using the futures method. The under hedged element is left under hedged. Is there a reason the examiner only uses a forward rate when using options? Many thanks

No - I don't know why he did not it for both. It is a minor point (dealing with the over/under hedge) - if you have time then do it. Otherwise just mention the possibility and you will get credit for it.
