SEBI has allowed exchanges
to introduce currency futures in three more currencies — euro, yen and pound.
The permitted contract sizes for euro-rupee, pound-rupee and yen-rupee are 1000
euros, 1000 pounds and 1,00,000 yen, respectively. The maximum maturity of the
contract would be 12 months. The contracts would be settled in cash in rupees.
The client-level position limit has been capped at 6% of the total open interest
position.
