SWAP RATES

Foreign exchange overnight interest refers to the overnight interest that needs to be paid or charged for holding the position overnight…

WHAT IS FOREIGN EXCHANGE OVERNIGHT INTEREST?

Foreign exchange overnight interest refers to the overnight interest that needs to be paid or charged for holding the position overnight.
