3 Introduction to FX Market The FX market is the foreign exchange market or currency market. It determines the relative values of different currencies. The FX market supports international trade and investment by enabling currency conversion. FX market s huge trading volume makes it the largest asset class in the world. The value of a currency can be affected by several factors, not only economic factors, such as international trades / current accounts, monetary and fiscal policies, but also the demand for and supply of the currency. Political stability is also one of the things that affects the exchange value of a currency. Information flow is fast and wide nowadays so news can spread in a second, which can lead to quick changes of FX rates. Besides, the ties between countries are stronger than before due to globalisation and the increase of the interaction between economic zones. These interactions will affect the exchange rate of their currencies. What is a Currency Futures Contract? Basically, a currency futures contract allows market participants to take a view on the movement of the underlying exchange rate as well as hedge against currency risk. It allows them to exchange one currency for another currency at a specified date in the future at a price fixed on the date of their futures contract transaction. What is a RMB Currency Futures Contract? For HKEx s first RMB Currency Futures, USD/CNH Futures, the underlying exchange rate is the exchange rate of RMB circulated in Hong Kong (CNH) per one US dollar (USD). It is also the world s first listed deliverable RMB currency futures contract. Potential Users Large corporations and SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises) with RMB exposure, such as importers / exporters and manufacturers Financial institutions, such as banks, insurance companies and brokers Fund managers Investors of offshore RMB-denominated products Individual investors 1

5 Clearing and Settlement Arrangement Trading fee, settlement fee, margin and variation adjustments are all in RMB. Principal exchange of RMB and USD according to the specification of the futures contract takes place on final settlement. Daily Settlement Final Settlement Trading Fees Variation Adjustment Margin Obligation Settlement Fees Benefits of Trading HKEx s USD/CNH Futures Hedge or take on RMB exchange rate risk flexibly Investors can hedge or take on RMB exposure with USD/CNH futures. There is no restriction on the use of CNH, so the CNH market is a good reflection of supply and demand. Principal exchange at expiry facilitating currency payment arrangement USD/CNH futures will be settled at expiration by exchanging principal. This enables users to choose whether to settle their payments in USD or RMB when they acquire their contract(s). Transparent pricing USD/CNH futures are offered exclusively on HKEx s electronic derivatives trading platform, so market participants can enjoy transparent pricing in a fully transparent and centralised trading environment. Trading fee of RMB currency futures is competitive. Level playing field in an open trading platform Individual traders, banks, funds and corporations have equal access to the same trading platform and the same prices. Counterparty risk minimised Trades are cleared and settled by HKFE Clearing Corporation Limited, a HKEx subsidiary, acting as central counterparty in every transaction of Exchange Participants. Continuous two way liquidity provided by market makers Market makers provide continuous two sided markets throughout the trading day to enhance liquidity. Leverage USD/CNH Futures contracts are traded on a margin basis, so only a small fraction of the total exposure is required upfront. Capital cost in trading and hedging is reduced. 3
