Meaning of Repo
It is a transaction in which two parties agree to sell and repurchase the same security. Under such an agreement the seller sells specified securities with an agreement to repurchase the same at a mutually decided future date and a price The Repo/Reverse Repo transaction can only be done at Mumbai between parties approved by RBI and in securities as approved by RBI (Treasury Bills, Central/State Govt securities).

Repo
Uses of Repo It helps banks to invest surplus cash It helps investor achieve money market returns with sovereign risk. It helps borrower to raise funds at better rates An SLR surplus and CRR deficit bank can use the Repo deals as a convenient way of adjusting SLR/CRR positions simultaneously. RBI uses Repo and Reverse repo as instruments for liquidity adjustment in the system

Coupon rate and Yield

The difference between coupon rate and yield arises because the market price of a security might be different from the face value of the security. Since coupon payments are calculated on the face value, the coupon rate is different from the implied yield.

Example
10% Aug 2015 10 year Govt Bond Face Value RS.1000 Market Value Rs.1200 In this case Coupon rate is 10% Yield is 8.33% 1000*10 ----------= 8.33% 1200

Call Money Market

The call money market is an integral part of the Indian Money Market, where the day-today surplus funds (mostly of banks) are traded. The money that is lent for one day in this market is known as "Call Money", if it exceeds one day (but less than 15 days) it is referred to as "Notice Money".

Call Money Market

Banks borrow in this market for the following purpose To fill the gaps or temporary mismatches in funds To meet the CRR & SLR mandatory requirements as stipulated by the Central bank To meet sudden demand for funds arising out of large outflows.

Factors influencing interest rates

The factors which govern the interest rates are mostly economy related and are commonly referred to as macroeconomic factors. Some of these factors are: 1) Demand for money 2) Government borrowings 3) Supply of money 4) Inflation rate 5) The Reserve Bank of India and the Government policies determine some of the variables mentioned above.

Gilt edged securities

The term government securities encompass all Bonds & T-bills issued by the Central Government, and state governments. These securities are normally referred to, as "giltedged" as repayments of principal as well as interest are totally secured by sovereign guarantee.

Treasury Bills
Treasury bills, commonly referred to as TBills are issued by Government of India against their short term borrowing requirements with maturities ranging between 14 to 364 days. All these are issued at a discount-to-face value. For example a Treasury bill of Rs. 100.00 face value issued for Rs. 91.50 gets redeemed at the end of it's tenure at Rs. 100.00.

Who can invest in T-Bill

Banks, Primary Dealers, State Governments, Provident Funds, Financial Institutions, Insurance Companies, NBFCs, FIIs (as per prescribed norms), NRIs & OCBs can invest in T-Bills.

What is auction of Securities

Auction is a process of calling of bids with an objective of arriving at the market price. It is basically a price discovery mechanism

Yield of Treasury Bill

Y= (100-P)*365*100 ----------------------P*D Y = Yield P= Price D =Days to maturity

Example
91 days treasury bills maturing on 612-2008 Purchased on 12-10-2008 Rate quoted is Rs.99.1489 per Rs100
(100-99.1489)*365*100= 31065.15 ---------------------------(99.1489*55 days) =5453.18 =5.70%

Debenture
A Debenture is a debt security issued by a company (called the Issuer), which offers to pay interest in lieu of the money borrowed for a certain period. These are long-term debt instruments issued by private sector companies. These are issued in denominations as low as Rs 1000 and have maturities ranging between one and ten years.

Difference between debenture and bond

Long-term debt securities issued by the Government of India or any of the State Governments or undertakings owned by them or by development financial institutions are called as bonds. Instruments issued by other entities are called debentures.

Current yield
This is the yield or return derived by the investor on purchase of the instrument (yield related to purchase price) It is calculated by dividing the coupon rate by the purchase price of the debenture. For e. g: If an investor buys a 10% Rs 100 debenture of ABC company at Rs 90, his current Yield on the instrument would be computed as: Current Yield = (10%*100)/90 X 100 , That is 11.11% p.a.

Primary Dealers
Primary Dealers can be referred to as Merchant Bankers to Government of India, comprising the first tier of the government securities market. These were formed during the year 1994-96 to strengthen the market infrastructure

What role do Primary Dealers play?

The role of Primary Dealers is to; (i) commit participation as Principals in Government of India issues through bidding in auctions (ii) provide underwriting services (iii) offer firm buy - sell / bid ask quotes for T-Bills & dated securities (v) Development of Secondary Debt Market

OMO
OMO or Open Market Operations is a market regulating mechanism often resorted to by Reserve Bank of India. Under OMO Operations Reserve Bank of India as a market regulator keeps buying or/and selling securities through it's open market window. It's decision to sell or/and buy securities is influenced by factors such as overall liquidity in the system,

YIELD CURVE
The relationship between time and yield on a homogenous risk class of securities is called the Yield Curve. The relationship represents the time value of money showing that people would demand a positive rate of return on the money they are willing to part today for a payback into the future

SHAPE OF YIELD CURVE

A yield curve can be positive, neutral or flat. A

positive yield curve, which is most natural, is when the slope of the curve is positive, i.e. the yield at the longer end is higher than that at the shorter end of the time axis. This results, as people demand higher compensation for parting their money for a longer time into the future. A neutral yield curve is that which has a zero slope, i.e. is flat across time. T his occurs when people are willing to accept more or less the same returns across maturities. The negative yield curve (also called an inverted yield curve) is one of which the slope is negative, i.e. the long term yield is lower than the short

Shape of Yield curve

LIBOR
LIBOR stands for the London Interbank Offered Rate and is the rate of interest at which banks borrow funds from other banks, in marketable size, in the London interbank market. LIBOR is the most widely used "benchmark" or reference rate for short term interest rates. It is compiled by the British Bankers Association as a free service and released to the market at about 11.00[London time] each day.

CRR & SLR

CRR is at present prescribed at 5.5% of demand and term liabilities (DTL) of the bank, respectively, under Reserve Bank of India Act of 1934. The minimum and maximum SLR are prescribed at 25% and 40% of DTL respectively, under Banking Regulation Act of 1949.Present SLR is 24%. The CRR and SLR are to be maintained on fortnightly basis.

Demand and Time Liabilities

Main components of DTL are: Demand deposits (held in current and savings accounts, margin money for LCs, overdue fixed deposits etc.) Time deposits (in fixed deposits, recurring deposits, reinvestment deposits etc.) Overseas borrowings Foreign outward remittances in transit (FC liabilities net of FC assets) Other demand and time liabilities (accrued interest, credit balances in suspense account etc. )

SLR
SLR is to be maintained in the form of the following assets: Cash balances (excluding balances maintained for CRR) Gold (valued at price not exceeding current market price) Approved securities valued as per norms prescribed by RBI.

VaR
Value at Risk (VaR) is the most probable loss that we may incur in normal market conditions over a given period due to the volatility of a factor, exchange rates, interest rates or commodity prices. The probability of loss is expressed as a percentage VaR at 95% confidence level, implies a 5% probability of incurring the loss; at 99% confidence level the VaR implies 1% probability of the stated loss. The loss is generally stated in absolute amounts for a given transaction value (or value of a investment portfolio).

VaR
A VaR of Rs. 100,000 at 99% confidence level for one week for a investment portfolio of Rs. 10,000,000 similarly means that the market value of the portfolio is most likely to drop by maximum Rs. 100,000 with 1% probability over one week.

Exchange Rate Quotation

Exchange Quotations : There are two methods Exchange rate is expressed as the price per unit of foreign currency in terms of the home currency is known as the Home currency quotation or Direct Quotation Exchange rate is expressed as the price per unit of home currency in terms of the foreign currency is known as the Foreign Currency Quotation or Indirect Quotation Direct Quotation is used in New York and other foreign exchange markets and Indirect Quotation is used in London foreign exchange market.

Principles
Direct Quotation: Buy Low, Sell High: The prime motive of any trader is to make profit. By purchasing the commodity at lower price and selling it at a higher price a trader earns the profit. In foreign exchange, the banker buys the foreign currency at a lesser price and sells it at a higher price. Indirect Quotation: Buy High, Sell Low: A trader for a fixed amount of investment would acquire more units of the commodity when he purchases and for the same amount he would part with lesser units of the commodity when he sells.

Spot and Forward Transactions

A Bank agrees to buy from B Bank USD 100000. The actual exchange of currencies i.e. payment of rupees and receipt of US Dollars, under the contract may take place : on the same day or two days later or some day later, say after a month.

Interpretation of Quotation
The market quotation for a currency consists of the spot rate and the forward margin. The outright forward rate has to be calculated by loading the forward margin into the spot rate. For example US Dollar is quoted as under in the inter-bank market on a given day as under : Spot 1 USD = Rs.44.1000/1300 Spot/November 0200/0500 Spot/December 1500/1800

TT Buying Rate
TT Buying Rate (TT stands for Telegraphic Transfer) This is the rate applied when the transaction does not involve any delay in realization of the foreign exchange by the bank. In other words, the nostro account of the bank would already have been credited. The rate is calculated by deducting from the inter-bank buying rate the exchange margin as determined by the Bank.

Bills Buying Rate

This is the rate to be applied when a foreign bill is purchased. When a bill is purchased, the proceeds will be realized by the Bank after the bill is presented to the drawee at the overseas center. In the case of a usance bill the proceeds will be realized on the due date of the bill which includes the transit period and the usance period of the bill.

Repo
A 3-day repo is entered into on July 10, 2007, on an 11.99% 2009 security, maturing on April 7, 2009. The face value of the transaction is Rs. 3, 00, 00, 000. The price of the security is Rs. 116.42. If the repo rate is 7%, what is the settlement amount on July 10, 2007? Answer: Settlement amount on July 10, 2007 is the transaction value for the securities plus accrued interest. Transaction Value: 3, 00, 00, 000 * 116.42/100 =Rs. 3, 49, 26, 000 Accrued Interest: The number of days is 93. Accrued interest = 3, 00, 00, 000 * 11.99%* 93/360 = Rs. 9, 29, 225.00 Therefore, the settlement amount is: Rs. 3,49,26,000 + Rs. 9, 29, 225.00 = Rs. 3, 58, 55, 225.00

Example
Compute the Rupee value of an SGL transaction, with the following data: Coupon Rate: 11.68% Maturity date: August 6, 2008 Settlement Date: July 11, 2007 Price: Rs. 105.4025
Transaction amount: Rs. 50000000

Answer: Value of the transaction = number of securities * trade price = (50000000/100) * 105.4025 = Rs. 5,27,01,250 Accrued Interest for the period since the last coupon is = days since the last coupon/360 * coupon rate * face value = (155/360) * 0.1168 * 50000000 = Rs. 25,14,444 Settlement amount = Value of transaction + Accrued Interest = Rs. 5,27,01,250 + 25,14,444 = Rs. 5,52,15,694
