 Week Ahead

European Central Bank President Mario Draghi is scheduled to present his annual report to the European Parliament. In a
speech on Nov. 18, he struck a cautiously dovish tone, saying, "We do not yet see a consistent strengthening of underlying
price dynamics." Expect Draghi to repeat that message before members of parliament, who will surely grill him for more
information about the central bank's intentions.
As usual, the preliminary reading of consumer confidence in the euro area for the month of November will reveal no details
behind the headline figure. Only the final reading, coming the week after, will disclose the full breakdown, including at a
national level. Consumer confidence has proven resilient in the region and remains well above its long-term average. After a
slight deterioration during the summer, the index is now trending upward again with gains in September and October.
The composite PMI reading for October came in at 53.3, compared with 52.6 in September. That is consistent with sustained,
albeit modest, growth momentum going into 4Q. Though the PMI is supposed to be a measure of actual output, it seems to be
sensitive to economic news as well. The U.K. measure plunged after the referendum but output held up.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Philip Hammond will have a tough task at his first fiscal event. He is likely to be faced with
forecasts showing slower economic growth, higher inflation and increased borrowing. Given that, it's unlikely he will sanction a
large scale fiscal stimulus -- he will still want to be seen making progress toward putting the public finances on a stable footing.
Investment projects and help for working families will probably head up his list of policy announcements.
The Office for National Statistics is likely to confirm the U.K. economy grew by 0.5% in 3Q. The release will contain the first
take on both the income and expenditure breakdowns of GDP and is likely to show consumers drove the economy through the
first quarter after the referendum.
23rd Nov. : U.S. MBA mortgage applications (weekly), jobless claims (weekly), FHFA home-price index (Sept.), Bloomberg
consumer comfort index (weekly), Markit manufacturing PMI (Nov. prelim.), Michigan consumer sentiment (Nov. final).
On 24th Nov. : The U.S. celebrates Thanksgiving, the holiday Abraham Lincoln made official in 1863.

How Importers And Exporters Could Use A Forex Hedge To Minimise Losses

An important tool in the global financial markets, hedging is used in every asset class to mitigate losses. This can be
utilised by anyone, whether it is an individual or corporate, to overcome the negative impact of price volatility.

For the corporate in which the business activity is dependent on import and export of commodities, there is an automatic
exposure to foreign exchange and, hence, the need for hedging is higher. In the current context, since the world markets
are interlinked, they eventually affect and impact the movement of currencies.

Hedging, in any asset class, is ultimately a strategy to decrease or transfer risk in order to protect one's portfolio or
business from uncertainty in prices. In case of hedging in the foreign exchange market, a participant who is entering a
trade with the intention of protecting the existing position from an unexpected currency move, is said to have created a
forex hedge.

With the help of a forex hedge, a participant who is long in a foreign currency pair, can protect himself from the downside
risk. On the other hand, a hedger who is short on a foreign currency pair will protect his existing position from the upside
risk.

The strategy to create a hedge would depend on the following parameters: (a) risk component (b) risk tolerance and (c) to
plan and execute the strategy.

The impact of the movement in the USD-INR currencies affects both importers and exporters. In other words, an importer
will benefit when the rupee appreciates, while the exporter will gain when the rupee depreciates against the US dollar. The
cost of import reduces when the rupee gains strength, thus benefiting an importer, and at the same time creating a loss for
the exporter, since a stronger rupee will reduce the export remittances when converted to Indian rupees.

In order to reduce the risks associated with these uncertain movements in the financial markets, both importers and
exporters can utilize the derivatives platform of currency futures. By creating an equal and opposite position in the
derivatives market, a hedge can be created.

How Hedging Works For An Importer

Suppose an oil importer wants to purchase oil worth $1,00,000 and places his order on 11 March 2016, with the delivery
date being three months away. At the time of placing the contract in the spot market, one US dollar is worth, say, Rs
66.50. However, suppose the Indian rupee depreciates to Rs 69 per dollar when the payment is due in June 2016, the
value of the payment for the importer goes up to Rs 69,00,000 rather than Rs 66,50,000.

In this case, if the importer hedges the currency risk, the losses can be reduced. Here's how the hedging strategy for the
importer would work:

Buy 100 lots of USD June 2016 contracts on 11th March 2016, assuming that June 2016 contract is trading at 67 on 11th
March 2016.
Then in June 2016, He square off 100 lots USD at 69. Profit of Rs. 200000, i.e. 1000 lot size* (69-67) *100.
Then importer makes the payment of oil purchase at 69 per dollar

Had the importer not hedged his position, he would have suffered a loss of Rs 2,50,000 (Rs 69,00,000 - Rs 66,50,000).
However, by creating a hedge position on the futures platform, his losses were reduced to Rs 50,000 due to profits in
currency hedge.

How An Exporter Can Use Hedging

A Jeweller, who is exporting gold jewellery worth US$50,000 in March 2016, wants protection against a possible
appreciation in the Indian rupee in June 2016 (spot Rs 66.50), when he receives his payment. When he is required to make
the payment in June 2016, suppose the rupee appreciates to 64. If, in this situation, he wants to lock in the exchange rate
for the above transaction, his strategy would be as follows

In March 2016, Sell 50 lots of June 2016 contract USD with a lot size of 1000,spot market @66.50. Assume that initially
the Indian rupee depreciated, but later appreciated to 64 per USD as foreseen by the exporter at end of June 2016.

Had the exporter not hedged his position, he would have suffered a loss of Rs 75,000, i.e. (50*1000*(66.50-64)), but by
creating a hedge he has made a profit of Rs 75,000 in the futures, offsetting his business loss. Hence, exposure
management is essential, given the premise of a volatile foreign exchange market. Hedging in the currency markets,
therefore, holds prime importance.
