INTEREST-RATE RISK
In the second quarter 2023, we entered into $1.1 billion of Treasury locks to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances, resulting in a total of $1.1 billion of Treasury locks outstanding as of June 30, 2023. All of our Treasury locks are designated as cash flow hedges.
At June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had forward-starting interest-rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $0.4 billion, to hedge the variability of interest payments on a portion of our forecasted debt issuances. All of our interest-rate swaps are designated as cash flow hedges.
We utilize a sensitivity analysis model to assess the risk associated with our derivative portfolio. The following sensitivity analysis measures the potential change in fair value of our interest-rate derivative instruments based upon a hypothetical 10% movement in the underlying interest rates as of the dates indicated:
| June 30, 2023 | December 31, 2022 | ||||||||||
| (Millions of dollars) | |||||||||||
| Interest-rate derivative instruments | $ | 53.2 | $ | 13.0 |
Our sensitivity analysis represents an estimate of the reasonably possible gains and losses that would be recognized on our interest-rate derivative contracts assuming hypothetical movements in future interest rates and is not necessarily indicative of actual results that may occur. Actual gains and losses may differ from estimates due to actual fluctuations in interest rates, as well as changes in our interest-rate derivative portfolio during the year.
