achat de couverture Explanation: ou contrepartie d'achat as in buying hedge , perhaps? En voici la définition en anglais et en français selon Termium: The "buying hedge" protects against price increases. Suppose an exporter sells a cargo of grain for delivery in six months. If the exporter buys the grain upon receipt of the order, to ensure a supply at a known price, capital would be tied up and storage, insurance and interest costs incurred. If [he] waits until the delivery date to buy the grain, there is the risk of a price increase. However, by buying a contract in the futures market, [he] establishes the price and ensures a supply to meet his commitment, without paying holding costs other than those built into the price. Source La «contrepartie d'achat» protège contre les hausses de prix. Supposons qu'un exportateur vend une cargaison de grain pour livraison dans six mois. S'il achète le grain dès qu'il reçoit la commande pour s'assurer un approvisionnement à un prix connu, il immobilise par le fait même des capitaux et doit assumer des frais d'entreposage, d'assurance et d'intérêt. S'il reporte l'achat du grain à la date de livraison, il court le risque d'une hausse des prix. Toutefois, en achetant un contrat au marché à terme, il établit son prix et peut s'assurer les approvisionnements requis pour respecter ses engagements, sans payer de frais de détention. Source |

arrbitrage Explanation: I don't see why this could not be considered as arbitrage since the difference of crossrates is the basis of the transaction -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 15 mins (2005-12-29 18:11:13 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- of courses arbitrage -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs 29 mins (2005-12-29 21:25:10 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I understand that it is the same market but the basis is the same, that is the difference in crossrates. Mine was just a guess since I don't think they would say "l'achat d'écart," by the way they use the same English term quite often. . . |

| The asker has declined this answer Comment: Arbitrage: The simultaneous purchase and sale of similar commodities in different markets to take advantage of a price discrepancy. In my case, the buying and selling go on in the same market (New York raw sugar). Spread buying is, for instance, selling the March contract because it is probably at a high, and buying May with the money because May did not follow March into the high. | ||
