More questions ?
Spot trades are transactions with a value date of today, tomorrow and today + 2 days.
The currency market is very volatile. It changes every day.
FX rates are very difficult to predict but for every business and transaction the most important is to understand your budget levels.
If you think that you need to purchase USD against GBP at 1.6500 to break even your purchase and the current FX rate is 1.6300, you are buying below your budget rate, hence you will incur a loss.
To mitigate this situation, you could have bought a forward at the rate of your budget level or higher. This would remove the fluctuations in FX rates you would face. You have essentially locked in your rate for your budget.

- With MatchPlaceFX, you only pay a commission fee!
- It is fair and you get a low-cost transfer.
- From our experience, very low pricing offered by banks and brokers is obviously temporary. Over time, some clients have found their pricing to have increased. In rare cases banks agree a fixed margin with a client for the longevity of the relationship.
