Bus/Financial - Accounting / annual accounts
Region (target): English (United Kingdom)
Dutch term or phrase: in baisse positie
"Gerealiseerde winst / (verlies) uit index futures (in baisse positie)"

This term appears in a table in annual accounts. Research leads me to believe this has to do with a bear market, but I'd appreciate the proper rendering. TIA. Cheers, R.
