金融英語閱讀：遠期外匯

There are many cases where transactions involving foreign exchange (FX) are not confined to the immediate future. Traders with foreign countries and clients that have loan commitments overseas can use forward FX as an effective form of risk management. For example an exporter doesn't receive payment for the sale until the goods have been received and an importer doesn't pay for the goods at the time of the order, but when they are supplied. It is quite possible that the exchange rates could differ significantly between the dates of agreeing to the price of the goods and actually making the payment.　

有許多涉及外匯(FX)的交易都不限于近期期貨。與外國做生意的商人和在海外有貸款承諾的客戶可以將遠期外匯用作風(fēng)險管理的一種有效形式。例如，一個出口商直到對方受到貨物才收到銷售賬款，而進口商在訂購時沒有為貨物支付款項，但在那時候貨物已經(jīng)提供了。在同意貨物價格的日期和實際付款的日期之間匯率很有可能大不相同。
