The following words and terms, when used in this subchapter, shall have the following meanings, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise:
"Foreign currency transactions" mean agreements between two parties to exchange two currencies at a specific time in the future. Foreign currency transactions include both spot and forward contracts.
"Forward contracts" mean agreements to sell or buy a specified amount of a specified foreign currency at a rate fixed at the time of the transaction but with delivery at a specified future time. These contracts take place on a date after the date that a spot contract settles. Forward exchange contracts may involve the purchase or sale of foreign currency.
"Hedging" means combining a long position in an asset denominated in a currency other than United States dollars with a short position in the international currency in which the asset is denominated in order to offset fluctuations in the value of the underlying asset attributable to international currency fluctuations.
"Spot contracts" mean agreements to sell or buy a specified amount of a specified foreign currency at a rate fixed at the time of the transaction but with settlement (payment and delivery) on the spot date. The settlement cycle of spot contracts is generally related to the settlement cycle of the related security transaction.
