Talk:Forex swap/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

An FX Swap / Currency Swap should be defined as:

Two Foreign Exchange transactions executed simultaneously a spot FX trade and a forward FX trade.

Example:

BUY USD ag JPY value spot and SELL USD ag JPY forward.

This has nothing to do with fixed rate or floating rates.

There seems to be some confusion over "FX Swaps" "Currency Swaps" and Interest rate derivatives such as Cross Currency Swap.

How can we change theses definitions as they are incorrect?
