    Without seeing the full example, I am not able to help you.

    Please either give me a link or copy out the whole question 🙂

    The article could be laid out better, because the writer has not calculated spot rate and futures price on 29 August – he is giving the figures. Obviously in real life they could be anything, but the writer is inventing those figures in order to be able to illustrate how the futures are used.

    If you haven’t already watched, then the free lectures on this website go through everything you need for the exam with regard to foreign exchange risk management.
