WHAT ARE CURRENCY DERIVATIVES?

These are options and futures contracts through which you can buy or sell specified quantities of pairs of currencies at a future date (which is predetermined). The price or exchange rate is decided on the date of purchase. The derivatives are similar to options and futures in the stock market, aside from the fact that currency pairs are the underlying assets.
Currencies are often traded in by banks and financial trading institutions. Individual investors can also trade in currency derivatives to take advantage of variations in currency exchange rates. The market for currency trading is one of the biggest and fastest growing in the world.

HOW DO CURRENCY DERIVATIVES WORK?

Trading in these derivatives gives you an option to trade in four foreign currencies which are pegged against the Indian rupee. You can trade through futures trading contracts for different foreign currencies through leading stock exchanges in India. However, foreign institutional investors and non-resident Indians cannot trade in this market.
Investors can hedge against foreign exchange risk and benefit from the rupee’s movement against major foreign currencies. There has been an increase in volumes of trading in currency futures over the years. The euro, Japanese yen, British pound and US dollar are the major currencies for which you can get currency derivatives paired with the rupee.
