Introduction:
Forward Exchange Contract: A forward exchange contract shows exchange rates for selected major international currencies for one month, three months, and six months forward contracts. An active dealer market is available for companies willing to transact in foreign currencies. The forward rate on a date is not the same as the spot rate. The difference between spot and the forward rate is known as the spread. The spread gives information about the strength or weakness of currencies.
