The HSI futures rise to trade above 18,000 mark, HSI put warrants in focus
The Hang Seng Index (HSI) June futures rallied 2.2% to 18,290 as of 10:42am on Wednesday morning amid a fall in the US retail sales data for the month of May which boosted hopes for a possible interest rate cut.
As of 10:45am today, bearish investors were accumulating the put warrants, particularly 15.2M units of the focus put, HSI-HU6 (exercise price:16,000). Meanwhile, investors sold back their positions in the call warrants, namely the focus calls HSI-CV3 (exercise price: 20,200) and HSI-CV4 (exercise price: 19,200) as the warrants' bid prices increased 42.9% and 38%, respectively. Call warrants move in line with the underlying, while put warrants move in an opposite direction to the underlying, rising as the underlying futures decline, and vice versa.
Whether bullish or bearish, investors may consider Macquarie’s focus call warrants (HSI-CV3, HSI-CV4) and focus put warrants (HSI-HWI, HSI-HU6). These warrants have high liquidity with volumes of up to 12M units placed on each of the bid and offer, allowing investors to enter and exit their positions with relative ease.

💡 How will changes in implied volatility affect structured warrants?
After the Lunar New Year holidays, the Hong Kong stock markets showed signs of a rally, with the Hang Seng Index (HSI) overcoming early morning jitters to post its second consecutive day of gains. The HSI rose by 0.4% to close at 15,944.63 on Thursday after fluctuating between an intra-day high of 16,029.02 and a low of 15,751.36, reflecting movements in market volatility. Year-to-date, the index has fallen approximately 5%, while it has tumbled by more than 23% year-on-year.
Warrant investors should know that changes in market volatility can lead to adjustments in the implied volatility (IV) level of a warrant by market makers. These adjustments are done to reflect the market’s volatility changes accordingly, ultimately affecting warrant prices.

⚠️ Expiring soon: MYEG-C4O, HSI-CTE, HSI-HPR and 24 others
⏰ Do take note that these expiring warrants experience significant time decay, causing their time value diminish very rapidly as their expiration dates approach (assuming other factors remain constant). Consequently, the time value of HSI-CTE, for instance, which also makes up its price, may not increase proportionally even if the HSI futures increases, potentially resulting in the warrant end up being worthless.
Therefore, warrant holders are encouraged to review their warrants portfolios and plan their trading strategies accordingly.

💡 Understanding a warrant’s delta: Why is it important?
The Hang Seng Index (HSI) futures rallied by 3.9% to 16,180 on Tuesday following news that Chinese authorities are strengthening their commitment to support the struggling market. However, the rally was short lived as the futures retreated to end Thursday’s trading at 15,887 (-1.3%), clocking back-to-back losses and giving back part of Tuesday’s gains.
The HSI futures continued to trade lower as at Friday morning with prices trading down by 1.3% at 15,676 as at 10:47AM. During these periods of volatility, large price fluctuations in the underlying can cause the dynamics of a warrant to alter. Hence, it is important to know about a warrant’s delta and to monitor it accordingly.

🎊Macquarie Warrants Malaysia would like to wish you a joyous and prosperous Chinese New Year. May the Year of the Dragon bring you abundance, luck and success!
In conjunction with the Chinese New Year holidays, Macquarie will not be market making on the following days:
• Friday, 9 February 2024 (afternoon session) – warrants over the Hang Seng Index, Hang Seng TECH Index, iShares FTSE China A50 ETF and Hong Kong stocks (collectively, the “Hong Kong underlyings”)
• Monday, 12 February 2024 (full day) – all warrants
• Tuesday, 13 February 2024 (full day) – warrants over the Hong Kong underlyings
For the warrants over the other underlyings (i.e. the Malaysian stocks, FBMKLCI, DJIA, NDX, SP500 and NIKKEI), Macquarie’s market making will run as usual for the whole trading day on Friday, 9 February and will resume on Tuesday, 13 February.

Put warrants to protect against falling prices in the short-term
This morning, the HSI futures rose another 0.4% as at 11.31AM this morning.
Investors with a negative view on markets and wish to protect themselves against falling prices in the short-term may consider hedging with put warrants.
Put warrants allow investors to potentially earn a profit when the underlying falls. Unlike call warrants whose prices tend to move in the same direction as the underlying, put warrants tend to move in the opposite direction to the underlying, increasing in value as the underlying falls and decreasing in value when the underlying rises.
Bearish investors may consider Macquarie’s focus put warrants HSI-HSU and HSI-HSV while bullish investors may consider focus call warrants HSI-CVB and HSI-CTP.

💡 Malaysia Banks: 4Q23 preview
In an article dated 19 February 2024, Macquarie Equities Research (MQ Research) highlighted that the preliminary sector profit before tax for banking shows deceleration of 1.9% quarter-on-quarter (q/q) dragged by surge in overheads and higher credit costs.
Nonetheless, there has been some positive indicators such as the 8.1% q/q growth of the sector’s non-interest income (NoII) and the recovering loans growth in December which eased income pressure, coupled with the lower net interest margin (NIM) compression while deposit competition mostly skewed to Islamic banks and wholesale deposits.
