Hedging using forward rates:  Assume the hypothetical spot rate between the JPY and USD was 101.25 JPY per USD. Suppose you are purchasing 2000000 JPY worth of microprocessors deliverable (product and payment) in 3 months with the contract set up between you and your supplier on Friday. How much is that shipment worth in USD. Assume that you want to hedge against exchange rate risk, and go to the bank. The financial specialist at the bank gives you the official 3 month forward rate at 101.18 JPY per USD. What does that imply for your payment to the bank in 3 months?

Exchange Rate Risk

It is the possibility that the value of a currency will fluctuate in the future. In the wake of globalization, business establishments have increasingly ventured into international markets. The volume of international trade has prospered excellently in the near past and is expected to be more affluent in the future. The use of exchange-traded derivative financial instruments has been multi-folded to provide for the requirements of various MNCs and offshore potential investors. Most banks and financial institutions have helped integrate the global economies. Our Government has introduced some bold and extreme measures to fulfil the purpose behind the fiscal, industrial, and monetary policies. The enactment of GST is a huge step towards streamlining the taxation system of the country. Owing to Covid-19, this aspect of corporate risk management has become critical.
