EduMarkets Cross Currency Swaps

Cross-currency swaps are how large borrowers fund themselves in one currency and repay in another. The module covers construction across the major pairs, explains why the cross-currency basis exists, and stress-tests trades under both FX and rate moves. These are the same building blocks corporates and banks use to manage funding across currencies.
