CME to launch new Yuan FX futures contracts
Dated Posted: 2011-07-11
Sun Jul 10, 2011 11:06pm EDT
U.S. derivatives exchange CME Group Inc said it will launch new yuan foreign currency futures contracts in August to meet growing global customer demand for investment products denominated in the Chinese currency.
Given the yuan's movement toward greater convertibility and the growing offshore trade of the currency in Hong Kong, CME has developed the new yuan futures contracts with counterparty risk mitigation benefits, according to Roger Rutherford, managing director FX Products, CME Group.
CME said the new futures contracts will be quoted in interbank terms, reflecting a number of yuan per U.S. dollar. The contracts will begin trading on Aug. 22.
The contracts will be quoted in dollars, but details on how settlement will be made were not provided.
Yuan deposits in Hong Kong have grown nearly six-fold in the past year to 548 billion yuan ($85 billion) at the end of May as China aims to spread the use of its currency in international trade.
Last week, the first daily yuan fixings began in the offshore Hong Kong market, a move banks hope will further deepen the burgeoning market and spawn more traing instructments.
The daily yuan fix in the CNH offshore market is seen as a key step because it gives banks a common rate on which to base the trade and settlement of a wider variety of products, especially derivatives such as FX options and interest-rate swaps.
Hong Kong's Treasury Markets Association launched the fix last week. Thomson Reuters is the calculating and distributing agent for the fixing rate on the menu page .
Activity in the offshore yuan market has soared this year, with surging yuan deposits in Hong Kong spurring daily currency trading estimated at about $1 billion each day and sparking a flurry of bond issues.
Beijing has promoted the offshore yuan market as a way for its big companies to settle trade in its local currency and help wean the economy off its reliance on the dollar.
But Chinese authorities have also sought to limit speculation on yuan appreciation in the fledgling market.
China's central bank recently tightened controls on the offshore yuan market, requiring that offshore banks settling trade in CNH tighten checks on whether currency transactions are tied to real trade and asking the banks to check for "abnormal" deals.
Banking and regulatory sources in Hong Kong have told Reuters that China is working behind the scenes to tighten the screws, trying to shape the structure of the market through derivatives regulation and financial bureacracy.
Beijing has allowed the yuan to gain 1.9 percent against the U.S. dollar so far this year and is expected to allow further appreciation to help curb imported inflation.
