    Example:

    Exchange rates quoted today are:

    Spot rate 0.5120 – 0.5152 £ / $
    One-month forward rate 0.5141 – 0.5171 £ / $
    Three-month forward rate 0.5171 – 0.5202 £ / $

    Which is the buying rate and which is the selling rate for the bank?
    I am quite confused.

    Please confirm if i am right.
    The bank buys at 0.5120
    The bank sells at 0.5152

    It depends which currency the bank is buying or selling – funds or dollars!

    Also, it is not the bank that really matters – it is what rate the company will use for conversion that matters.

    I explain all this in great detail (with examples) in the first of my free lectures on foreign exchange risk management (and I am not going to type out all my lectures again here 🙂 )
