The first half of the course will cover all the essential tools of the currency markets – spot FX, forwards, FX swaps and NDFs. We look both at the pricing of these products and also how customers use them. The afternoon session will cover a range of important topics beyond the scope of an elementary course on currency options. We start with a quick review of the key concepts and terminology, and then we look at the key exotics (barriers and digitals) and how they are used to create the most popular customer combinations. We move on to look at the currently most-popular 2nd generation exotics, such as Accumulators, Faders and Target Redemption structures.
