How is Swap Rate Calculated?

Swap Rate is calculated by online brokers based on the differential interest of currency pairs when positions are held overnight. At the end of a trading day, you have the choice to keep your position open, which results in accruing interest. Brokers either add (pay) or deduct (charge) this swap rate to your account.

This practice is commonly followed in markets like Forex trading and gold trading. The interest is generated from overnight fluctuations in exchange rates when the financial markets are closed.

Swap rates can be influenced by various factors, including prevailing interest rates set by central banks, market liquidity conditions, the specific currency pair being traded, and any additional fees or adjustments implemented by the broker.
