A hedging transaction of buying futures or call options to protect against a possible price increase in the cost of a commodity. 7, record 2, English, - buying%20hedge
Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT
The "buying hedge" protects against price increases. Suppose an exporter sells a cargo of grain for delivery in six months. If the exporter buys the grain upon receipt of the order, to ensure a supply at a known price, capital would be tied up and storage, insurance and interest costs incurred. If [he] waits until the delivery date to buy the grain, there is the risk of a price increase. However, by buying a contract in the futures market, [he] establishes the price and ensures a supply to meet his commitment, without paying holding costs other than those built into the price. 8, record 2, English, - buying%20hedge

La «contrepartie d'achat» protège contre les hausses de prix. Supposons qu'un exportateur vend une cargaison de grain pour livraison dans six mois. S'il achète le grain dès qu'il reçoit la commande pour s'assurer un approvisionnement à un prix connu, il immobilise par le fait même des capitaux et doit assumer des frais d'entreposage, d'assurance et d'intérêt. S'il reporte l'achat du grain à la date de livraison, il court le risque d'une hausse des prix. Toutefois, en achetant un contrat au marché à terme, il établit son prix et peut s'assurer les approvisionnements requis pour respecter ses engagements, sans payer de frais de détention. 1, record 2, French, - contrepartie%20d%27achat

Before the grain is shipped at multi-terminal ports, the clearance association receives "shipping orders" from exporters. These orders are marched with the "charter slips" received by vessel agents for incoming ships to minimize the number of terminals at which a ship will have to berth to complete loading. Grain in drawn from the terminal elevators under the supervision of the CGC, which issues a "Certificate Final" stating the weight and grade on which the transaction is based. These documents are among those required by the exporter to claim payment. 2, record 3, English, - charter%20slip

Quand il y a du grain à expédier, l'association reçoit les «ordres de transport» des expéditeurs et les fait correspondre aux «feuilles d'affrètement» communiquées par les agent maritimes. Elle établit ensuite la répartition des bateaux entre les silos afin de les utiliser, les uns et les autres, avec le maximum d'efficacité. Plusieurs facteurs sont pris en considération : quantités entreposées des grades requis, stocks totaux du silo et son état d'encombrement, possibilité pour le silo envisagé de charger le bateau en question, compte tenu de la profondeur d'eau et du type d'installation de chargement. Dans la majorité des cas, pour compléter son chargement, le bateau devra se rendre à deux ou trois silos. 1, record 3, French, - feuille%20d%27affr%C3%A8tement
