Common use of Market Risk Clause in Contracts

Market Risk. We have a market risk management and control framework, to support trading and balance sheet management activities. The framework incorporates a risk measurement approach to quantify the magnitude of market risk within the trading and balance sheet portfolios. This approach and related analysis identify the range of possible outcomes that can be expected over a given period of time, and establish the relative likelihood of those outcomes and allocate an appropriate amount of capital to support these activities. Traded market risk is the risk of loss from changes in value of financial instruments due to movements in price factors for both physical and derivative trading positions. These risks are monitored daily against a comprehensive limit framework that includes Value at Risk (“VaR”), aggregate market position and sensitivity, product and geographic thresholds. The principal risk components of this monitoring process are: • Currency risk is the potential loss arising from the decline in the value of a financial instrument, due to changes in foreign exchange rates or their implied volatilities. • Interest rate risk is the potential loss arising from the change in the value of a financial instrument, due to changes in market interest rates or their implied volatilities. • Credit Spread risk is the potential loss arising from a decline in value of an instrument due to a movement of its margin or spread relative to a benchmark.
