Forex and interest risk
10y ago#11. Correct (and netting as well, but that is easy and obvious)
2. Correct - no calculations, but being aware what they are.
3. He also expects you to know about foreign exchange futures and options, but there will not be calculations on these.
thnks alot :), but netting how do work on calculations?
10y ago#3If the is a payment of $100 in 6 months time, and a receipt of $70 in 6 months time, then you simply net them off and you are at risk on a net payment of $30 in 6 months.
It is on this $30 then you would then look at forward rates or money market hedging.
Thats great, got it thanks
