Dear Sir, Good afternoon,
I have summarized some high points below. Please kindly to have a look.
1. Exporter hedging against an exchange rate INCREASE will SELL exchange rate future NOW and BUY them at a FUTURE date.
2. Importer hedging against an exchange rate DECREASE will BUY exchange rate future NOW and SELL them at a FUTURE date.
3. Borrower hedging against an interest rate INCREASE will SELL interest rate future NOW and BUY them at a FUTURE date.
4. Lender hedging against an interest rate DECREASE will BUY interest rate future now and SELL them at a FUTURE date.5. Exporter can use a PUT option to hedge against exchange rate INCREASE.
6. Importer can use a CALL option to hedge against exchange rate DECREASE.
7.Borrower can use a PUT option to hedge against interest rate INCREASE.
8. Lender can use a CALL option to hedge against interest rate DECREASE.Thank you so much.
