currency swing

A currency swing is a large fluctuation in exchange rates, usually due to an unexpected market event. Sharp currency swings take place every now and then in currency markets. They are a normal feature of the flexible exchange rate system. They illustrate the need for adequate FX hedging programs to protect companies’ profit margins from sudden and unexpected FX moves. The implementation and management of these FX hedging programs may be quite burdensome for treasury teams that rely on manual execution and spreadsheets. However, Currency Management Automation solutions allows firms to run them smoothly, on a fully automated basis.
