| |Hedging your Currency risk through the Currency Derivatives platform |
| Currency hedging refers to an investment position which is created with the intention to offset or cover the potential losses/risk which may arise due to uncertain and unexpected fluctuation in the prices of the underlying, in this case the Currency. This could also refer to creating an opposite position in the futures markets compared to the positions currently held in the spot market. |
| |
| For Example: an Exporter / importer would always be interested in protecting his business margins against the forex fluctuations which may occur in the future at the time of his remittance. Hence depending on the month of the receivable / payable, the exporter would always sell the currency of that future month and lock his price for realization of the currency which would be received on completion of the export order and an importer would always buy the currency of that future month and lock in his price for buying currency for which he would make the payment against his import orders. |
