Commodity Swap
(redirected from Commodity Swaps)

     0.01 sec.
Commodity Swap
A swap involving the market price of a commodity. In a commodity swap, a financial institution is usually one of the counterparties. A user of the commodity may agree to pay the financial institution a fixed price for the commodity in exchange for the institution paying the user the spot price for the same commodity. On the other hand, a producer of a commodity may agree to pay the financial institution the market price in exchange for receiving a fixed price. A commodity swap usually involves oil and is used to protect against price fluctuations.
