Material Economic Terms

Back to Foreign Exchange

The links (if any) for the selected Product Type and Sub-Product Type below contain market standard Material Terms (as supplemented by the relevant Reference Documents) for the relevant swaps. The relevant Static Terms will be supplemented by transaction-specific Material Terms to be communicated to you prior to trading ("Transactional Terms") along with the Static Terms. The Transactional Terms may amend the Static Terms, as notified by us. The Terms are intended to relate primarily to the requirements of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.
