1.1 Define Competitive Exposures
1.2 Define hedging techniques for competitive exposures.
1.3 Please describe the limits to the use of financial techniques
to hedge competitive risk
EXERCICE 2
Describe the USD currency performance (trade weighted broad)
https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/DTWEXBGS9
against the rest of the world currencies during the last year in
terms of the Holy Trinity. Please note that the graph represents
the number of a basket of broad currencies that you need to buy
one dollar.
IMPORTANT: It is expected that you answer this question
using the following concepts: NER, RER, Inflation Rates in the
US and ROW, Net Exports (NX), Savings and Investments in
your comment applied to the USD relative to the rest of the
world.
EXERCISE 3
The US Company ZYZ has an account receivable in EUR: 10m
EUR, to be collected in 1 year.
Please use the following information to calculate the amount of
USD that it will receive if it hedges the EUR using forwards,
money market hedge and Options. On the option, will you
hedge using the call or the put option on the EUR? What
alternative provides a better outcome for XYZ?
At maturity of the forward and the option (one year) the
USD(EUR exchange rate (the sport) is trading at 1.15
USD/EUR. Will you exercise the option¿ Why? ,
Please describe
IMPORTANT INFORMATION : The quotes given are
(USD/EUR) (number of USD to buy one EUR, it is the book
convention).
The premium of the option is given in percentage of the amount
hedged. The Call option and the PUT option are on the EUR
(right to buy or sell the EUR)
Usaboys cost of capital is 5.0%.

EXERCISE 4
Given the following USD/AUD quote (the number of AUD to
buy one USD),
Calculate the exchange rate appreciation or depreciation under
the two scenarios given below. USD/AUD spot today is 0.80. It
is important that you describe which currency appreciates or
depreciates and the percentage appreciation or depreciation of
that currency.
Scenario I: 0.75 USD/AUD
Scenario II: 0.94 USD/AUD
EXERCISE 5
John Scary Always, a market maker at Thanksobihelp! Bank in
the US, is managing a FX option book, including some exotic
options. John has received the call from one of his biggest
institutional clients, who wants to buy a structured note to get
$1m exposure to the EUR/USD, (the number of USD that you
need to buy one EUR
John trades in the structured note, selling the note (a digital or
Binary Option). The Barrier is at 1.21 EUR/USD.
The Delta exposure for seller of the exotic option are given in
the graph below (delta exposure)
(1) Please describe the Delta of the exotic option and the
required hedge the market maker will implement to be delta
Neutral (Zero; no directional exposure to the underlying
EUR/USD) using hedging instruments like futures that John will
have in his book. There is only one day to maturity and the
underlying currency pair is trading at 1.205 EUR/USD and
hasn’t touched the barrier during the life of the option if the
market maker decided to dynamically delta hedge the option
Delta using delta one instruments (futures)
(2) Now, once you have answered the previous question, please
imagine that the EUR appreciates further against the USD,
breaking the barrier above 1.21 EUR/USD.
Please describe the total Delta that John will have in its book
now that the option doesn’t exist any more, but the hedging
instruments are still in its book
Action? How does John get rid of directional risks once the
option does not exist anymore (knock out) and how does it
impact the currency market?
