远期汇率衍生合约的中文解释

英文Exchange Rate Agreement 的缩写，一种外汇衍生工具，可对冲未来某段时间的汇率风险，合约的价值随两个远期汇率(如三个月和六个月期远期汇率)的差距扩大或缩小而变动。与标准的远期外汇合约(FXA)不同的是，这种合约以两个远期汇率的差额为结算基础，而FXA的结算则基于合约开始时的远期汇率与结算时现货汇率的差距。

ERA的英文解释

This is a foreign exchange derivative contract based on a synthetic or constructed forward contract in which settlement is based on the difference between two foreign exchange forward rates and not the spot rate. In contrast, a standard forward exchange agreement or FXA is based on the difference between the forward rate on the start date of the contract and the spot rate at settlement.
