Derivatives trading losses require urgent discussions on additional margin requirements, position adjustments, and risk management improvements with overseas clients.
デリバティブ取引で予想以上の損失が発生し、追加証拠金や損失拡大防止策を海外顧客と英語で緊急協議する場面です。
👨💼【Teacher / Client】:
Thank you for taking my call on short notice. Our derivative position has generated unexpected losses, and we received a margin call this morning. Can you explain what options we have right now?
(急なお電話に対応いただきありがとうございます。当社のデリバティブポジションで予想外の損失が発生し、今朝追証の通知を受けました。今、どのような選択肢があるか説明していただけますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Relationship Manager】:
I understand your concern. First, we need to meet the margin requirement by depositing additional funds. Second, we can reduce your position size to lower the required margin. Third, we should review your risk management approach to avoid similar situations.
(ご心配はよく分かります。第一に、追加資金を差し入れて証拠金要件を満たす必要があります。第二に、ポジションサイズを縮小して必要証拠金を減らすことができます。第三に、同様の事態を避けるため、リスク管理手法を見直すべきです。)
👨💼【Teacher / Client】:
How much time do we have to decide? The market is moving fast, and I'm worried the losses could increase further.
(決断までどれくらい時間がありますか?市場が急速に動いており、損失がさらに拡大するのではないかと心配しています。)
🧑🎓【Student / Relationship Manager】:
You have until the end of today to respond. If the market continues to move against your position, the required margin will increase. I recommend we act within the next 2 hours to avoid additional risk.
(本日中にご対応いただく必要があります。市場があなたのポジションに不利な方向に動き続ければ、必要証拠金は増加します。追加リスクを避けるため、今後2時間以内に行動することをお勧めします。)
👨💼【Teacher / Client】:
What if we close part of the position? Would that reduce the margin requirement enough?
(ポジションの一部を決済したらどうでしょうか?それで必要証拠金は十分に減りますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Relationship Manager】:
Yes, closing 40 percent of your position would reduce the margin call by approximately 15000 USD. However, you would also lock in some losses. Alternatively, you could provide additional collateral worth 20000 USD to keep the full position open.
(はい、ポジションの40パーセントを決済すれば、追証を約15000米ドル減らせます。ただし、一部の損失が確定します。あるいは、ポジション全体を維持するために20000米ドル相当の追加担保を提供することもできます。)
👨💼【Teacher / Client】:
I need to discuss this with our finance team. Can you send me a summary of these options by email?
(財務チームと相談する必要があります。これらの選択肢の要約をメールで送っていただけますか?)
🧑🎓【Student / Relationship Manager】:
Of course. I will send you a detailed summary within 30 minutes. Please let me know your decision as soon as possible so we can proceed accordingly.
(もちろんです。30分以内に詳細な要約をお送りします。それに応じて進められるよう、できるだけ早くご決断をお知らせください。)
👨💼【Teacher / Client】:
Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate your support during this difficult situation.
