Catalog Currency Contract For Free

A swap is a derivative contract where one party exchanges or "swaps" the cash flows or value of one asset for another. For example, a company paying a variable rate of interest may swap its interest payments with another company that will then pay the first company a fixed rate.

This agreement is a promise to sell or purchase a certain amount of foreign currency on a specific date. A transferable contract known as "currency futures" provides a price at which a specific currency can be purchased or sold on a future date.

In a currency swap, or FX swap, the counterparties exchange given amounts in the two currencies. For example, one party might receive 100 million British pounds (GBP), while the other receives $125 million. This implies a GBP/USD exchange rate of 1.25.

Understanding Currency Futures For example, buying a Euro FX future on the U.S. exchange at 1.20 means the buyer is agreeing to buy euros at $1.20 USD. If they let the contract expire, they are responsible for buying 125,000 euros at $1.20 USD.

Types of Currency Swaps Fixed-For-Fixed Currency Swaps. Fixed-For-Floating Currency Swaps. Floating-For-Floating Currency Swaps. Initiation of Swap Agreement. Exchange of Principal Amounts. Exchange of Interest Payments. Termination of Swap Agreement. Hedging Currency Risk.

Currency Exchange Agreement means, for any Person, an agreement or arrangement between such Person and one or more financial institutions or other entities providing for the transfer or mitigation of risks of fluctuations in the exchange rate between currencies either generally or under specific contingencies.

If a contract between parties from different countries refers to a currency that uses the dollar sign, using a currency code or a suitably modified currency sign, such as A$ for Australian dollars and Mex$ for Mexican pesos, would make it clear which currency is being referred to.
