Fatima1102 -- The answer is probably a "futures contract," as it is the financial risk-management technique commonly used by businesses in times of price volatility. Airlines and even gas stations are using them today with gas & oil prices -- Answers.com "Futures contract" http://www.answers.com/topic/futures-contract However, it's more likely that a "forward contract" will be used to delivery of a commodity at a future date. Since it's a special category of a "futures contract," I'd stick with the first answer: Answers.com "Forward contract" http://www.answers.com/topic/forward-contract Google search strategy: "futures contract" definition Best regards, Omnivorous-GA |
