Hedging currency risk can be done with a term contract, futures, or options. For a company with international operations, the use of hedging instruments is very important when transferring foreign activity on the local currency, or buy raw materials, equipment and offshore. The contract term is unique to the Forex market, and allows a company or investor to lock in a specific transaction to Exchange different currencies on a specific date. Unlike futures contracts, cash contracts are not normalized or transaction is, and if a party defaults, the other side is totally out of luck. Futures contracts represent a less risky alternative to hedging against fluctuations in the currency market. Depending on the direction and amount of volatility on the currency markets, the company will choose the future or option-or a combination of both-depending on specific currencies concerned.
