Currency Risk and Relative Price Risk

Authors: Alan C. Shapiro;

Currency Risk and Relative Price Risk

Abstract

This paper demonstrates the strong linkages that exist between currency risk, represented by inflation risk and exchange rate changes, and relative price risk. These linkages affect the optional quantities of forward exchange contracts, nominal debt, and fixed price sales (purchase) contracts to use in hedging against these risks. It is shown that the existence of as many hedging mechanisms as there are forms of price risk allows for the precise targeting of specific price risks with specific hedging instruments. Moreover, even though each hedging mechanism specializes in protecting against a particular form of price risk, the optimal quantitiy of each influences and is influenced by the optimal quantities of the others.
