Currency Strategy – 2 (Other currency pairs)Directional Views
A 3rd currency to INR currency future gives a trader a powerful tool to take a directional views on the 3rd currency versus INR. Incase, the trader wishes to take a position only against the USD, he can do so by synthetically creating a cross currency position. Here is an example to demonstrate the same.
Assume :
EUR/INR May contract is trading at 57.8800 and USD/INR May contract is trading at 46.5400.
View : EUR to strengthen against the USD
Execution : You buy X contracts of EURINR @ 57.8800 AND
You sell 1.2X contracts of USDINR @ 46.5450
Effectively, you have synthetically created a buy Euro against USD position by doing this. There remains some basis risk arising from mismatch in EURINR and USDINR amounts.
Currency Strategy – 3 A Corporate has a view on EURO to appreciate by 3 big figures from 1.2625 and INR to
appreciate to 46.35 from 46.70 levels. Corporate can do the follow hedge:
So when the position is locked at 1.2625, the volatility is of 3 big figures is protected and being an importer he/she would wait to cover the USDINR leg.
In OTC market, premium would be charged for each leg respectively.
Book EURUSD LEG separately
To book EURUSD at 1.2625 before it hits 1.2925
Book USDINR LEG separately
To hold USDINR position with a view towards 46.35 from 46.70

Benefits of Currency Future Trading for Importer & Exporter• In Today’s world Every Financial Instrument has become volatile. It is very
important for companies to safeguard their financial Risk in Best Possible way.
• Exporter & Importer who are dealing in Foreign Currency have always Risk of Currency Rate Fluctuation. Some time it may work in Favour but also may cause huge losses. So its very important for Exporter – Importer to cover their Currency Risk.
• Currency Risk can be mitigated by using Currency Future.
Exporter• Exporter Recieve Foreign Currency, which in normal trading circumstance is
received on some Future date from the time when the deal is done. But between these two period Currency might Fluctuate causing loss of Revenue. It can be Explained from below example:
• On 15th July 2010 Rajshree Diamond which is into Business of Diamond Processing agreed to sell Diamond worth $100 mn to a party in US. Payment is due on 15th Aug. Financial aspect of the Trade for Rajshree is as below:

Why & How to Hedge Currency Risk?
• Organization should always focus on their core competencies to improve efficiency and profit. In the example shown a Diamond Processor’s main business is to process the diamond and sell. Naked currency position can result in Profit for Rajshree Diamond some time but there is huge Risk of wiping of entire profit margin is also attached with this.
• So Rajshree Diamond should always focus on its main business of Processing Diamond to Maximize Profit rather than speculating on Currency.
• Also, Hedged Currency Position helps in predicting better Cash Flow Management.• Bankers & Creditors feel more comfortable while lending to these Institution.• Better Valuation of Equity as Expected profit is less Volatile.
Why & How to Hedge Currency Risk?
• Currency Risk can be hedge by using Currency Future Traded on NSE.
• Exporter - Exporter can hedge their Currency Risk by taking short position on their respective recievable currency.

How to Hedge Export Position• E.g. 1 Rajshree Diamond : • On 15th July when the deal is done by Rajshree Diamond to receive $100 mn. In
month of August, it should take short position of 100000 USD-INR August Future contract. Suppose at that time Aug. Future Contract is trading at 46.6 ( 10 paisa premium)
• On 15th Aug. Rajshree Diamond will square off the position on Exchange and receive the dollar and convert it into Rupee. Suppose the future premium reduce from 10 paisa to 5 paisa.

Other Trading Strategy - Arbitrage • Arbitrage – Getting the Benefit of Price Mismatch between two Markets. Take long position where market price is lower and simultaneously take short
position where market price is higher. Square off the position when the difference between the two market prices is narrowed.
e.g. – On 15th July $ traded on NSE & MCX is as below: NSE – 46.6425 - Buy MCX- SX – 46.6575 – Sell As per the strategy we will Buy $-INR contract at NSE & sell at MCX. Suppose on 16th July Price on both the exchange equals as follows NSE – 46.6025 - Sell ( loss of .04*1000 = 40) MCX- SX – 46.6025 – Buy ( Profit of .055*1000 = 55) ARBITAGE PROFIT = Rs.5 per lot
Other Trading Strategy - SpeculationView: INR will depreciate against USD, caused by India’s sharply rising import bill and
poor FII equity flows
• Trade:USDINR 31 July contract: 43.5000Current Spot rate (9 July 10): 43.0000Buy 1 July contract: Value Rs. 43,500 (USD 1000 * 43.5000)Hold contract to expiry: RBI fixing rate on 29 July 10 – 44.0000Economic return: Profit, Rupees 500 (44,000 – 43,500)
A Currency Futures contract is exactly like a futures contract on the NIFTY or on
INFOSYTCH. A futures price “F” is traded on screen. The price is the USDINR exchange rate at a future date.
