Understanding Forex Swap Rates

Forex swap rates are a crucial consideration for traders who hold positions overnight. When you keep a position open past the daily rollover time (usually 5 PM EST), your broker applies a swap rate based on the interest rate differential between the two currencies in your pair. If the currency you're buying has a higher interest rate than the one you're selling, you'll typically receive a credit. Conversely, you'll pay a charge if the bought currency has a lower rate. Swap rates vary significantly between brokers due to different funding costs and markup policies. For long-term traders and swing traders, comparing swap rates can have a meaningful impact on profitability. Some brokers offer swap-free Islamic accounts that eliminate overnight interest entirely, making them popular not just for religious compliance but also for traders who want to hold positions without swap considerations. When evaluating brokers, consider both their spread costs and swap rates together to get a complete picture of your trading expenses.
