What is Currency Trading in India?

A currency future, often known as an FX future, is a futures contract that allows you to exchange one currency for another at a fixed price (exchange rate) on the purchase date. The price of a futures contract is expressed in INR per unit of another currency, such as US Dollars. Currency future contracts allow investors to protect themselves against the risk of currency depreciation. The US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Great Britain Pound (GBP), and Japanese Yen (JPY) are the four currency pairs on which currency derivatives are available.

In the Currency Derivatives sector, cross-currency futures and options contracts on the EUR-USD, GBP-USD, and USD-JPY are also accessible for trading.

The National Stock Exchange (NSE), the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE), and the Metropolitan Stock Exchange of India Ltd all offer forex trading.

Currency futures are available for all of the following currency and cross-currency pairs, however, Currency Options are only available for USDINR, EURINR, GBPINR, and JPYINR.
