The blender firm might have lowered this danger by brief selling the euro and shopping for the U.S. dollar when they have been at parity. That way, if the U.S. greenback rose in worth, then the earnings from the trade would offset the decreased revenue from the sale of blenders. If the us dollar fell in worth, then the more favorable change rate would improve the profit from the sale of blenders, which offsets the losses within the trade. Both forms of contracts are binding and are typically settled for money on the trade in question upon expiry, though contracts can be bought and bought before they expire.
