Currency Hedging
The strategy is for importers and exporters to protect them from the risks
involved with the currency fluctuations
Low risk strategy
When USD rises, no new risk arises and when USD falls, we are
protected from the losses
Hedging can be done through banks, futures or options
In hedging through banks, no extra cash has to be managed but there will
be no new profits when market rises. Also, the cost is higher when
hedging through banks as compared to the cost involved in options and
futures market and its difficult to hedge when import and export is done
simultaneously
Hedging through futures is a cost effective way. It is easy to enter and
easy to exit. Just like hedging through banks, when prices rise, there will
be no new profits but when price falls, there are few other risks like
facing the Mark-to-Market losses on daily basis, keeping track of the
multiple accounting entries involved in the transaction on day-to-day
basis and the requirement of an initial margin investment
Unlike hedging through banks and futures, when there is a favourable
movement in market, hedging through options will generate new profits
but when the market falls, the loss will be limited to the premium only.
Other benefits are that there is no initial margin investment required, no
additional Mark-to-Market loss, very few accounting entries for the
hedging transaction, no need to arrange for new funds or for managing
the losses
