1. **Yield Curve Risk:**
- Banks face risk when pricing assets and liabilities based on different benchmarks.
- Non-parallel movements in yield curves impact Net Interest Income (NII).
- Evaluation of yield curve movements is crucial to understand the portfolio and income impact.
- Yield curve risk is a type of basis risk related to different maturity benchmarks for liabilities and assets.
2. **Embedded Option Risk:**
- Market interest rate changes prompt prepayment and exercise of options, affecting bank profitability.
- Faster and higher interest rate changes increase embedded option risk, reducing projected cash flow and income.
- Particularly experienced in volatile situations, embedded option risk is a reality in India.
3. **Reinvestment Risk:**
- Uncertainty in future cash flow reinvestment interest rates poses a risk.
- Mismatches in cash flows expose banks to Net Interest Income (NII) variations.
- Banks offering different rates for the same tenor may face reinvestment risk if depositors shift for higher interest.
4. **Net Interest Position Risk:**
- Banks with more earning assets than paying liabilities face interest rate risk.
- Reduction in NII occurs when market interest rates decline and vice versa.
- Impact on earnings or economic value of assets, liabilities, and OBS positions.
5. **Market Risk:**
- Risk of adverse deviations in trading portfolio's mark-to-market value due to market movements.
- Arises from adverse movements in prices of interest rate instruments, equities, commodities, and currencies.
- Also known as Price Risk.
