why do the spot and future rates move in the opposite directions?

[@opentuition]

Because the futures prices are 100 minus the interest rate. So a higher interest rate means a lower futures price. I do explain this in the lecture :-) (But do appreciate that you cannot be asked for calculations on interest rate risk in Paper FM - that comes in Paper AFM!)

@@opentuition Oh sorry, i meant to ask this question in the foreign exchange risk lecture. Why do the spot and futures exchange rates move in the opposite directions?

[@opentuition]

@@ahmadnomanalnoor5986 They don't!! For foreign exchange the futures prices and the spot rates move in the same direction.
