unanticipated changes in exchange rates

Where:
F – forward exchange rate
ST – spot rate on the maturity date
If:
F > ST – loss
F < ST – gain
F = ST – no gain or loss
Money market hedge
Step-by-step procedure of money market hedging
1. Borrow needed money (divided by the interest rate)
2. Convert currency to correct currency at the current spot exchange rate
3. Invest that money in the country of the latest currency
4. Collect the actual money you receive
5. Receive maturity value of the latest currency

Possible shortcoming of forward and money market hedges: these methods completely
eliminate exchange risk exposure

Contingent exposure = a situation in which the firm may or may not be subject to exchange
exposure
Choice of invoice currency = the firm can shift, share, or diversify exchange risk by
appropriately choosing the currency of invoice

avoid the loss from depreciation of the soft currency and benefit from the appreciation of
the hard currency
To lead = to pay or collect early
To lag = to pay or collect late

another similar currency
