A Repurchase agreement (also known as a repo or Sale and Repurchase Agreement) allows a borrower to use a financial security as collateral for a cash loan at a fixed rate of interest. In a repo, the borrower agrees to sell immediately a security to a lender and also agrees to buy the same security from the lender at a fixed price at some later date. A repo is equivalent to a cash transaction combined with a forward contract. The cash transaction results in transfer of money to the borrower in exchange for legal transfer of the security to the lender, while the forward contract ensures repayment of the loan to the lender and return of the collateral of the borrower. The difference between the forward price and the spot price is the interest on the loan while the settlement date of the forward contract is the maturity date of the loan.
A customized contract between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a specified price on a future date. A forward contract can be used for hedging or speculation, although its non-standardized nature makes it particularly apt for hedging.

A forward contract is an agreement between two parties to buy or sell an asset at a future date for a set price. This allows them to lock in a price now, reducing the risk of price fluctuations. The contract is binding, meaning both parties must fulfill their obligations on the agreed-upon date.
The forward rate is the agreed-upon rate for a future transaction that is set today, while the future rate is the expected rate for a future transaction that is not yet agreed upon.

A spot contract is in contrast with a forward contract or futures contract where contract terms are agreed now but delivery and payment will occur at a future date.
Given an infinitely convergent sequence pn with limit p, the forward difference is the measure of the difference between the current term and he next. The backward difference is the measure of the difference between the current term and the previous.i.e.forward difference: Δpn=pn+1 - pnbackward difference: ∇pn=pn - pn-1Also, note that since they are both expressed by pn, the forward difference is recognised by the use of a delta before the pn, and the backward difference by the use of a nabla.
The first is correct grammar.
