There are many real-life examples of companies or investors using currency derivatives, and even more so of derivatives in general. Below are four recent examples. I'd recommend you read or at least skim all of the articles, but you only need to post on one of them. Your posts don't need to be long: explain where there is a connection between an article and the course content, and make a comment about something you found particularly interesting (but still related to the module):

Here are a few articles directly related to our course:

Additionally, on the discussion board, you may want to describe, in your own words, the insights, doubts, queries, and serendipitous findings when presented with the content in this module and discuss how you came to understand the concept. This should not be undigested information copied from course materials or internet resources.
