This fourth presentation moves deeper into the mechanics of how FX is actually transacted, focusing on the core products that companies, investors, and other market participants use to manage currency needs and risks. It’s designed to give participants a clear, practical understanding of the main FX instruments and when they’re used.


In this session, we’ll cover:


  • Spot FX, the market’s foundational transaction and how it underpins all other FX activity

  • Forward contracts, including how they work, why businesses use them, and what drives forward pricing

  • FX swaps and cross-currency swaps, and how these tools help manage liquidity, funding, and long-term currency exposure


This presentation continues the series’ progression into real-world FX practices, helping participants understand not just the theory but the actual tools that shape everyday currency management.
