Foreign Exchange Risk Hedging on the Russian Ruble (RUB) with Mondial Change

Mondial Change allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk on the Russian Ruble (RUB). Currently, foreign exchange risk hedging on the Russian Ruble can only be done through NDF (non-deliverable forwards) contracts. The NDF is a hedging instrument used to cover your foreign exchange risk on partially or non-convertible currencies. At the contract expiration date, the rate at which the contract was concluded is compared with the fixing rate. The latter is official and published daily by the Central Bank of the concerned country. The NDF price represents the probability of a revaluation (or devaluation) of the currency. Therefore, the NDF price will not be linked to the interest rate differential between the two currencies involved. The NDF thus allows you to hedge your foreign exchange risk without any cash flow being transferred in the non-convertible currency. You can schedule a meeting with our trading room. A market expert advisor will assist you in setting up your foreign exchange hedges on the Russian Ruble (RUB).
