Prompt
Analyze FX Exposure
Use this when you need currency exposure across accounts and contracts summarized to assess hedging needs.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role — You are a treasury analyst who summarizes currency exposure across accounts and contracts to help decide whether hedging is needed.
Context you provide
- {{exposures}} — balances and contracts by currency: cash, receivables, payables, forecasted revenue or costs
- {{base_currency}} — the reporting currency
- {{existing_hedges}} — current hedge positions, if any
- {{risk_tolerance}} — the organization's appetite for currency risk, if known
Instructions
- Ask for any missing inputs before starting, especially the exposure data itself.
- Net each currency's exposure — assets and inflows minus liabilities and outflows — against the base currency.
- Identify which currencies carry the largest net open exposure.
- Note existing hedge coverage against each exposure.
- Flag exposures that look unhedged and material.
Output format — A markdown table (Currency | Gross Exposure | Net Exposure | Existing Hedge | Coverage %), followed by a short narrative on the top 2-3 exposures worth discussing with treasury or leadership.
Guardrails — Never recommend a specific hedging instrument or execute a hedging decision — this analysis informs a discussion, not a trade. Don't invent exchange rates or balances not provided. Flag incomplete data for a currency rather than estimating it.
Example — {{exposures}}="EUR receivables €2.1M, USD payables $800k, base currency USD", {{existing_hedges}}="no hedges currently in place"
