This is really a bit confusing and not very well documented.

You are already using the PythonOperator.

Now just add the option

provide_context=True,

and extend your callable with a pointer, e.g.

update_bmk(bmk_code, is_hedged, **context)

Now, within your function you will have access to all information about the task, including the execution date like so:

task_instance = context['task_instance']
execution_date = context['execution_date']

To see a full reference of items in the context, see https://airflow.apache.org/macros.html

Those are the docs for macros, but you can use the items in the context dictionary.
