Selling a future creates the obligation to borrow money and the obligation to pay interest Buying a future creates the obligation to deposit money and the right to receive interest. Sir can you kindly explain this two line and also why one line mention obligation and the other line mentions right. Thank you inadvance

No, I will not explain because they are not true! Futures are explained in my free lectures.

The article is not written by one of the examining team and in terms of the use that financial managers make of interest rate futures those two lines are simply not true and are irrelevant for the exam. The rest of the article is OK.
