Tiivistelmä:This paper presents evidence on the asymmetric sensitivity of stock returns of French companies to exchange rate risk and the effect of foreign currency (FC) derivative (henceforth as: dervs.) use in mitigating the risk. It is shown that FC exposure is frequently asymmetric, differing as to the US dollar (USD) and non-USD currencies (as: currs). Based on cross-sectional analysis, it is found that FC dervs.' use has a significant effect on reducing FC exposure to appreciations (here as: apprs.) and depreciations (as: deprs.) of non-USD currs. and USD deprs., but not to USD apprs.
