FX Derivatives

A foreign exchange (FX) or currency derivative is a contract to exchange one currency for another at a specified date in the future at a price (exchange rate) that is fixed on the purchase date.

Euronext offers five cash-settled FX contracts listed on the Euronext Amsterdam Derivatives Market: 

• Euro/Dollar Futures (FED)
• British Pound/Euro Futures (FPE)
• British Pound/Euro Options (PEX)
• British Pound/Dollar Futures (FPD)
• British Pound/Dollar Options (PDX)

These contracts can be used for hedging foreign exchange risk, to diversify investment strategies or for currency investing and arbitrage. Euronext’s currency derivatives have the benefits of being exchange-traded and therefore centrally cleared.
