Sobre la cobertura del Nikkei 225 con futuros y la fortaleza del yen

Traducido automáticamente del original · Leer el original (English)

Estoy analizando el impacto de una posible fortaleza del yen en mi posición larga en $NKD_F. Para aquellos que cubren su exposición, ¿usan principalmente opciones de divisas o transacciones directas de FX para compensar posibles pérdidas de un JPY más fuerte frente a su posición en futuros del Nikkei, o simplemente reducen su posición?

It really depends on the size of the position and your overall portfolio's currency exposure. For smaller holdings, a direct FX trade or even just letting the currency move might be simpler than options, but for larger books, currency options offer more precise hedging with defined risk.

For managing JPY exposure on NKD futures, I find a combination of shorting USD/JPY futures or using OTC forwards to be effective, depending on the notional size. Scaling out is an option, but it doesn't directly address the currency risk for the portion of the position you still hold.

Most people just run the currency risk unless it's a huge position. The cost of hedging can eat into any gains pretty quickly, and Nikkei futures already have a decent amount of volatility to manage.
