Additionally, we maintain some interest rate swaps, foreign currency forwards, investment market price forwards and
commodity contracts that are not designated as hedges. These interest rate swap contracts are intended to provide an economic
hedge of portions of our outstanding debt. These foreign exchange forward contracts are intended to provide an economic offset to
foreign currency remeasurement risks for certain assets and liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. These investment market
price forward contracts are intended to provide an economic offset to fair value fluctuations of certain investments in marketable
securities. These commodity contracts are intended to provide a short-term economic offset to fuel expense changes due to price
fluctuations.
We also periodically terminate interest rate swaps and foreign currency options by entering into offsetting swap and foreign
currency positions with different counterparties. As part of this process, we de-designate our original swap and foreign currency
contracts. These transactions provide an economic offset that effectively eliminates the impact of changes in market valuation.
The following is a summary of the amounts recorded in the statements of consolidated income related to fair value changes
and settlements of these foreign currency forwards, interest rate swaps, and commodity contracts not designated as hedges for the
years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (in millions):
