FX Cross rate 交叉汇率


FX Cross rate 交叉汇率

What about EUR/JPY cross rate? 欧元兑日元报价? Given, EURUSD = 1.2920 / 1.2930 and USDJPY = 95.00 / 95.10, derive the cross rate EURJPY = EURUSD x USDJPY 欧元兑日元由欧元兑美元汇率乘以美元兑日元汇率得出。

Derive the JPYCNY cross rate, given, 计算美元兑人民币报价 USDJPY = 95.00 / 95.10 USDCNY = 6.8200 / 6.8250 JPYCNY = USDCNY divided by USDJPY 用美元兑人民币的报价除以美元兑日元报价 Hence, Bid = 6.8200 / 95.10 = 0.071714 Offer = 6.8250 / 95.00 = 0.071842

Foreign Exchange Markets Conventions 外汇市场惯例

FX Quoting Conventions 外汇报价惯例

Base / Counter Currency （作为报价货币的顺序）
Hierarchy: 1) Euro (EUR) 2) Sterling (GBP) 3) Australian dollar (AUD) 4) New Zealand dollar (NZD) 5) US dollar (USD) 6) Others (JPY, SGD, CNY, HKD etc)

Cash settlement two business days from date of transaction. 交易日两个工作日（交易币种）交割
Cash settlement one business day from date of transaction. 交易日第二个工作日交割 Cash settlement on date of transaction 交易日当天交割
FX Market Making 外汇市场做市商报价

Bid = price in ccy at which bank is willing to pay for the base currency 买入价：银行愿意买入基准货币的汇率 Offer = price at which bank is willing to sell the base currency 卖 出价：银行愿意卖出基准货币的汇率


Interbank FX rates are quoted against the US dollar 银行间报价的币种都以美元为基础
FX Quoting Conventions 外汇报价惯例

Examples of FX quotes:



USD / GBP or GBP / USD? USD / SGD or SGD / USD? USD / JPY or JPY / USD? USD / HKD or HKD / USD? JPY / CHF or CHF / JPY?


“Value date” is the date when exchange of currencies is done 起息日是两种货币做转换的日期
Also known as “settlement date” or “delivery date” 也被称作清算日或交割日 SPOT value date is usually two business days after trade date. 即期起息通常是交易日后第二天(CAD外)


The FX forward settlement date can be one day to one year later than spot date. 远期可以是在即期之后的一天到一年。
For value “forward”, the FX rate must take into account the interest differential between the two currencies. 远期汇率必须考虑两种货币的利率差 Implicitly, the party is borrowing/lending the currencies to effect the forward exchange. 背后的原理其实就是交易方拆借两种货币
外汇市场停止交易的时间段：自周五纽约市场全部结束到下周一奥克 兰（新西兰）市场开盘，市场基本没有交易，但是周末时间中东市场 仍然有少量外汇的交易存在。
Definition of exchange rate 汇率的定义

A foreign exchange rate is a means of expressing the value of one currency (“base” currency) in terms of another (“counter” currency). 外汇汇率是用一种货币来表示另一种货币。 Quote 汇率 USDCNY USDHKD Base基准 1 USD = 1 USD = Counter 6.8200 CNY 7.7500 HKD
FX Quoting Conventions 外汇报价惯例

Precision: How far to the right of the decimal point? 精确到小数点后第几位? EURUSD_____ USDJPY _____ USDCNY _____ USDSGD _____



Forward Outright 外汇远期交易

When the base currency is at forward premium, swap point is added to the spot rate to arrive at the Outright Forward rate 基准货币升水，掉期点加上即期汇率成为最终远期报价 When the base currency is at forward discount, swap point is deducted from the spot rate to arrive at the Outright Forward rate. 如果远期贴水，掉期点就为负，相当于减去掉期点得到远期报价 Example: Given spot USDCNY is 6.8200, 150/200 and 3 month swap point is150/200. What is the CNY 3 month Outright Forward rate? USDCNY即期价格6.8200，3个月掉期点150/200，那么3个月的远期报价是? Answer: 6.8350/6.8400 So USD is at forward premium against the CNY. So swap point is added to spot rate 美元兑人民币远期升水
