Currency Futures

Currency Futures

The launch of Currency Futures in August 2008 has been an exciting development in the Indian Financial sector. For the past few years we have witnessed a tremendous increase in volatility in currency pairs. Corporates - whether they are Exporters, Importers, borrowers of foreign currency loans or have an indirect exposure; or households - who might need foreign currency for travel / education / medical purposes etc. - are exposed to currency risk. Currency Futures allow Corporates and Households alike to hedge their currency risk, to protect or increase investment returns and to trade in USDINR, EURINR, GBPINR and JPYINR without the need to have an underlying exposure.
