FX TYPES AND HEDGING

Foreign exchange, or forex, encompasses various currency transactions and instruments used in global trading. The main types include spot exchange for immediate currency conversion, forward exchange for future exchange at a set rate, currency futures traded on exchanges, options to buy or sell currencies at a predetermined price, swaps for exchanging currencies at the spot rate with a future reversal, and cross-currency swaps for cash flows in different currencies. These types cater to hedging, speculation, or meeting financing needs in currency trading.

Spot Market

Spot exchange is the immediate exchange of currencies at the current market rate for immediate delivery. It allows exchanging one currency for another at the prevailing exchange rate, with settlement typically within two business days. Spot transactions are highly prevalent and straightforward in foreign exchange transactions.

Forward Market

Forward exchange involves agreeing to exchange currencies at a future date and fixed rate, helping businesses hedge against currency fluctuations and secure a future exchange rate. It provides stability and customised solutions to mitigate exchange rate risks in future currency transactions.

Futures Market

Currency futures are standardized contracts traded on regulated exchanges, enabling parties to buy or sell a specific amount of currency at a fixed price and future date. They provide transparency and accessibility to a wider range of market participants, sharing similarities with forward contracts but offering the advantage of standardisation and organised trading.

Options Market

Currency options give investors the right, but not the obligation, to buy or sell a currency at a predetermined price within a specified time period. They offer flexibility by allowing participants to protect against negative currency movements while benefiting from positive ones. Options can be used for hedging or speculative trading strategies, providing market participants with various opportunities.

Cross-Currency Swaps

Currency swaps and cross-currency swaps exchange currencies at the spot rate with a commitment to reverse the transaction later. Multinational corporations use them to manage currency exposure and interest rate risk. Cross-currency swaps deal with cash flows in different currencies to address interest rate risks or financing needs
