No entry for wrong ideas
Feb, 27, 2026 By Vikram Murarka 0 comments
In fitness, shortcuts and bad advice often do more harm than good.
In FX, the same applies.
Blindly hedging, over-structuring, or forcing strategies without understanding cash flows creates risk instead of reducing it.
Natural hedges, timing, and structure matter.
Imports and exports don’t need aggressive action just because action is available.
Good currency management is about saying no to the wrong ideas, even when they sound confident or urgent.
Because avoiding bad decisions is often more valuable than chasing smart ones.
