Provide an Example of a Corporate Exposure Hedged by a Currency Forward.

Consider a US-based technology company that expects to receive a payment of 1 million Euros in three months for a software sale to a European client. The company is exposed to the risk that the Euro's value will drop against the US Dollar before the payment is received.

To hedge this, the company enters a currency forward contract to sell 1 million Euros at a specific US Dollar exchange rate in three months. This locks in the future USD revenue, eliminating the currency fluctuation risk.
