Prudence Bank is a regular borrower in the interbank market. On the 9th of August 2023, the head of the Global Markets operations makes the decision to hedge the bank's interest cost on a three-month Eurodollar issuance of US$30 million, which is planned for November 2023. On 9 August, the bank could issue US$30 million in three-month Eurodollars at 4.61%. The corresponding futures rates for the three-month Eurodollar futures contracts are 4.83% (December 2023), 5.01% (March 2024), and 5.38% (June 2024).REQUIRED:A.What is the bank’s specific cash market risk that it should be concerned with on 9 August 2023? B.Should the bank buy or sell Eurodollar futures to hedge its borrowing costs?
