Why is the average swap important?
● Swap operations are predicated on holding positions over a very long term, so you need to choose accounts and currency pairs that consistently deliver good swap over the long term.
● In days when a large amount of swap is added all at once, such as the 3x DAY (three days’ worth of swaps, including weekend), looking only at those instantaneous high points does not reveal true performance..
● Swap points are highly dynamic due to shifts in policy rates and changes in FX company service policies. Viewing swap points as a trend rather than a point value helps identify swap trends.
