Example 20.6 (One bank’s settlement day)
A bank’s book for one value date has eight trades with four counterparties, USD 1.53 billion in all: with A, it sells EUR 400 million and buys EUR 300 million against dollars; with B, it sells yen for USD 250 million and buys yen for USD 150 million; with C, it sells euros for sterling (200 million) and dollars for euros (100 million); with D, it sells an emerging-market currency outside CLS for USD 80 million and buys it back for USD 50 million. Settled gross with the illustrative hours of Figure 20.1, its exposure peaks at USD 1.33 billion in the afternoon, when the dollar payments are due and the euro ones have gone. Netted per counterparty and currency, the payments fall to USD 430 million and the peak to USD 430 million; settled through PvP in every currency but the last, the peak is USD 30 million, the net of D’s trades (Figure 20.3).
