USD/TWD 2W FX Forward Swap Pts mid

USD/TWD FX Forward Swap Points is a quotation that reflects the interest rate differential between the US dollar and the New Taiwan dollar, used to calculate the forward exchange rate within an FX swap transaction. The FX swap itself is a derivative financial instrument in which two parties agree to exchange specified amounts in two different currencies on an initial date at the current (spot) rate and conduct a reverse exchange of the same amounts on a specified future date at a pre-agreed forward rate. The swap points, expressed in points of the quoted currency, are added to or subtracted from the spot rate to derive this forward rate. The value of the swap points is directly determined by the interest rate differential between the two currencies for the tenor of the contract, allowing market participants to effectively borrow one currency against another, hedge currency risks, or speculate on changes in the interest rate spread.
