FX Forward Rates

See how spot rates translate into future-dated outright rates across the currency pairs and maturities that matter to corporate cash flow.

Client access required

What it does

The tool brings spot, forward points, and outright forward rates into one view across 59 currency pairs. Select a pair to review the full available maturity curve in a table, then open a key tenor in the chart to see how its forward points have changed over time.

The table distinguishes bid, mid, and ask values and shows the forward percentage versus spot, the day's point range, source time, and market status. Rates refresh at 30-minute intervals and are indicative; some pairs or maturities may be calculated from related currency legs when a direct curve is unavailable.

Access note: Bastion provides paid, approved access for clients, subscribers, and time-limited demo users. Newsletter access and tool permissions may be managed separately.
FX Forward Rates table showing forward points and outright rates across maturities

The table keeps the executable quote sides separate: bid, mid, and ask forward points and outrights are never collapsed into a single number.

Tenors and table

Read the current curve from the short end to long-dated maturities.

Available maturities vary by pair and source. The current product set can extend from overnight, tomorrow-next, and spot-next through one-, two-, and three-week points; monthly maturities; and annual maturities as far as 30 years.

For every available tenor, the table shows bid, mid, and ask points; the corresponding outright forward rates; high and low points; the forward percentage versus spot; and the observation time. The spot summary above the table shows last, bid/ask, day's range, source context, and refresh interval.

Historical charts

Put today's points in context.

Historical charts are available for 1 week; 1, 2, 3, 6, and 9 months; and 1, 2, 5, 7, and 10 years. Click a supported tenor in the table to open its chart, or choose the pair and tenor directly in the chart view.

A move in forward points is not the same as a spot move. It principally reflects the interest-rate relationship between the two currencies over the selected horizon, along with market pricing and quote-source conditions.

Best used for

Matching hedge maturity to forecast cash flow, checking whether a currency trades at a forward premium or discount, comparing quote context, and explaining the carry embedded in a future-dated rate.

Not for

Executing at the displayed level or choosing a hedge solely because one tenor appears cheaper. Credit, liquidity, settlement dates, policy, and the direction of the underlying exposure still matter.

How treasury teams use it

Connect future-dated rates to real payables and receivables.

Match

  • Line up the forward tenor with the expected invoice, payment, or receipt date before comparing rates.

Interpret

  • Separate a change in spot from a change in forward points, and identify whether carry helps or works against the exposure.

Discuss

  • Give importers, exporters, finance leaders, and counterparties a common curve and quote-side reference for the hedge conversation.

Important limitations

Forward rates are indicative, may be delayed, and can differ from a counterparty's executable quote after credit, liquidity, value date, market conditions, spread, and transaction size are considered. Pair orientation also matters: an importer buying the base currency and an exporter selling it face different cash-flow questions even when looking at the same rate. This tool provides market context only and is not a stand-alone instruction to trade or hedge.
