Swap Points of Forex Currency Pairs

Swaps points are variable and could change at anytime depending on the liquidity providers of LMFX.

The swap rate itself is generated by the difference of each country’s interest rate.

For example, USD/JPY will have swap points charged or credited to traders by the difference of the interest rates in US and Japan.

Some currencies like TRY(Turkish) and ZAR(South African) are subject to high swap points as these countries have got higher interest rates.

So currency pairs of TRY and ZAR may have higher swap points charged or credited for traders.

The swap charge of Forex Pairs are tripled on Wednesdays as the delivery date of tradings are T+2.
