Bank stocks will be in focus after the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) yesterday, 28 May 2015, advised banks to encourage large agricultural borrowers such as agricultural commodity processors, traders, millers, aggregators etc. to hedge their risks related to agricultural commodity prices. Banks provide a number of credit facilities to customers engaged in activities related to agriculture. Volatility in agricultural commodity prices may negatively impact such borrowers and the banks, according to the central bank. Hence, hedging of agri-commodity price risk will be beneficial to both the borrowers and the banks, the RBI said in a statement. The RBI has advised banks to educate their customers about the suitability and appropriateness of using various hedging tools so that they can take an informed decision. This will also reduce the scope of mis-selling of derivatives. Banks have to keep the sophistication, understanding, scale of operation and requirements of their agri-borrowers in mind while advising them on the availability and use of these instruments, the RBI said.
