HKEX’s EUR/CNH futures provide transparency in price discovery reflecting exchange rate expectations driven by market forces, meeting rising demand for capital-efficient risk management tools to hedge RMB currency risk against EUR. Economic interdependence of Japan and China, reflected in the large trade volumes between the two countries have created strong demand for inter-currency payments between Renminbi (RMB) and Japanese yen (JPY). Furthermore, JPY encompasses among the largest components of the basket of currencies referenced under Mainland China’s managed float exchange rate regime. Responding to such market requirements, HKEX introduced USD/CNH futures in 2012 and following their success and anticipating growing needs for more flexible hedging tools, HKEX introduced the exchange traded USD/CNH options as part of its strategy to build up a full range of foreign exchange derivatives products.
