Trading

  • The exchange rates keep fluctuating based on various data that is released by the government and the central banks of the country. So one might initiate a short or long position just to benefit from those small moves.
  • For example, If a trader thinks that the USD is going to strengthen against the INR than he/she will buy the pair. The prediction or speculation is right the pair will move higher and the trader will end up making money and vise versa.

Hedging

  • A hedger takes a position in the currency derivatives to protect himself from the fluctuation in the exchange rates. These are people who either are supposed to make or receive a payment in foreign currency. It includes importers or exporters of goods and services.
  • For example, If an exporter has exported goods worth $1000 and will receive the payment in the next 3 months, a falling dollar is an underlying risk. Hence he can short USDINR futures to reduce the risk.

Low margin requirement:

  • This is one of the most motivating factors for most currency traders. The margin required for trading in currency is exceptionally low as compared to commodity and in some cases the equity.
  • What makes this proposition interesting? Like in equity derivatives, currencies to are cash-settled (no delivery) on a daily basis. This makes it.

Deep dive in Currency Derivatives

  • Derivatives are exchange-traded contracts the value of which are derived from an underlying asset that has an intrinsic value. 
  • Currency derivatives are exchange-traded futures and options contracts whose price movements depend on the underlying currency pair.
  • For Ex the USDINR futures will move in tandem with the USDINR spot rates that keep changing depending on the data that is released, like the PMI, CPI, inflation, unemployment figures, etc.

  •  In currency trading and investing, currencies are considered in pairs like the Rupee-Dollar pair. So if someone has a bullish view on the Dollar he can buy the pair. Buying the pair also implies that the trader or investor is selling the rupee.
  • In India, the USDINR, GBPINR, EURINR, and JPYINR are the most traded currency derivatives, along with the cross-currency pairs i.e. EURUSD, GPBUSD, and USDJPY.

  • Currency Derivatives are essentially financial instruments or contracts (also known as underlying variable market conditions such as bonds, stocks, or currencies) which base there value on spot market price results.
  • It is a deal between two traders that will mutually agree to exchange currency in the future at a fixed price. 'Derivatives' suggests that it derives value from the underlying value and that it has no independent value as well.

  • Bullion, shares, currency, commodities, stock market index, or something else, maybe underlying. The underlying would mean the currency exchange rate, from the point of view of currency derivatives. Derivatives help protect your portfolio against any risk, and can also be used for speculation and arbitrage productively.
  • There are 2 types of derivatives futures and options. The currency market is also known as the foreign exchange market or forex which is a market where the world’s currencies change hands and it is the largest financial market in the world.
