    Dear Mr John,

    I would like to ask about commodity swap which is outside the syllabus but I think understanding it would help me more to understand ex, interest swap.

    Since it is not in the syllabus, I googled it and read from several pages which mainly is Wikipedia. From what I read, could I consider commodity swap as a series of identical forward/future contracts, repeating again and again during the period of swap?

    For example: A (user of a commodity) signed with B a swap valid in 1 years which allows A to pay fixed price to buy commodity in each of 12 months, any differences between fixed price and market price at each month would be paid/received between A-B.

    I currently consider this swap as a series of 12 continuous identical forward/future contracts with expire period is 1 month. Is this correct to think so?

    Thank you in advance!

    The way you describe it is correct (although as you say, it is not examinable).
