What is an Overnight Swap Rate?
A swap rate refers to an overnight charge that is based on the interest rates of the two countries involved in a currency pair. The swap rate is charged exactly at midnight, according to each broker's time server.
Each Forex pair is the subject of different swap charges. These charges are measured on a standard lot size which means 100,000 base units (usually $100,000).
How do Overnight Rates Work?
Swap rates can be positive or negative and that depends on the currency pair you have chosen and the direction you trade. If you choose to go long on a currency offering a high-interest rate and you trade against a currency offering a low-interest rate then the overnight rate is positive. For example, if you go long on AUDUSD, NZDUSD, AUDCHF, or NZDJPY you are paid an overnight rate.
