Citations missing date February 2008 Context date February 2008 A commodity swap is an agreement where by a floating or market or spot price based on an underlying commodity is exchanged for a fixed price over a specified period. A Commodity swap is similar to a Fixed Floating Interest rate swap . The difference is that in an Interest rate swap the floating leg is based on standard Interest rates like LIBOR, EURIBOR etc but in a commodity swap the floating leg is based on the price of underlying commodity like Oil, Sugar etc. No Commodities are exchanged during the trade. In this swap, the user of a commodity would secure a maximum price and agree to pay a financial institution this fixed price. Then in return, the user would get payments based on the market price for the commodity involved. On the other side, a producer wishes to fix his income and would agree to pay the market price to a financial institution, in return for receiving fixed payments for the commodity. The vast majority of commodity swaps involve oil . Category Commodities market econ term stub lt aliav apsikeitimo sandoris ... more details
