Query on Currency derivatives trading post 04 April 2024 in view of RBI circular dated 05 Jan 2024

For those who have or are willing to build up exposure in offshore MF-

Lot size of 1 USDINR contract is $1000 or Rs 83.50 k.

Say, If you have open positions of 100 lots , the notional INR Value is Rs 83.50 lakh. So, You should have justifiable holding of 83.50 lakh +/-10% of offshore MF to compensate for 100 lots. That is the real meaning of hedge.

Now, if you have Rs 83.50 Lakh holding in a single overseas asset class and you are following this post, then your positions will be much higher than 100. :smile:
