Frequently asked questions

What are Currency Options? 
chevron

Currency options are contracts granting the buyer of the contract the right, but not the obligation, to exchange a fixed amount of one currency for another at a fixed exchange rate at or within a specified future date. In return for receiving the right, the buyer will pay an option premium to seller. See below “How are Currency Options priced?”.

 

Depending on the hedging strategy adopted by you, you can be either the buyer or the seller of options.

 

There are two kinds of Currency Options:

  • Call options grant the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to buy a currency against another
  • Put options grant the buyer the right, but not the obligation, to sell a currency against another

Currency Option pricing is dependent on the following factors:

  • spot exchange rate
  • strike price
  • interest rates of the currency pair
  • time to expiration
  • expected volatility of the exchange rate
  • intrinsic features of the option (whether American or European, vanilla or barrier, etc.)

The price or fee in which the buyer pays the writer of the option is the premium of the option. The decision to exercise the option is dependent on the strike price versus the spot price.
