The currency and time are agreed upon between price maker and taker prior to a trade. Once that time hits, the trade is executed wherever the currency pair is trading. The traditional benefit of trading with an FX fixing rate is complete price transparency.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"bbg-interstitial\" aria-label=\"interstitial\" tabindex=\"0\">\n\t<style>\n\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta{\n\t\t\tbackground:rgba(0,0,0,0);\n\t\t\tpadding: 104px;\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\n\t\t}\n\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta .bbg-card__content, .bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta .bbg-card__content p{\n\t\t\tcolor:inherit;\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 768px) {\n\t\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta{\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 80px 32px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t\t@media (max-width: 480px) {\n\t\t\t.bbg-interstitial #card_1.bbg-card_hasCta{\n\t\t\t\tpadding: 80px 18px;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t}\n\t<\/style>\n\t<div class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-card  bbg-card-dark bbg-card_hasCta has_interstitial\" id=\"card_1\" data-card_type=\"no_image\">\n  \n  \n  <div class=\"bbg-card__innerwrapper\">\n    <div class=\"bbg-card__content\">\n      \n      \n                      <h3 class=\"bbg-card__title\">Corporate treasury insights delivered monthly to your inbox.<\/h3>\n      \n              <div class=\"bbg-card__wysiwyg bb-wysiwyg\"><p>Sign up for the newsletter<\/p>\n<\/div>\n          <\/div>\n\n          \n<div\n  id=\"cta_8832652308107320568\"\n  class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-cta icon icon-arrow\">\n  <style>\n    \n    \n    \n  <\/style>\n  <div\n    class=\"bbg-cta-link link-holder\"\n    data-links-type=\"cta-links\">\n    <p class=\"bbg-cta-p right\">\n      <a\n        class=\"bbg-cta-link link interstitial_cta\"\n        href=\"https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/professional\/insights\/newsletter\/\"\n        target=\"_blank\"\n        rel=\"\"\n        data-section-name=\"\"\n                role=\"button\"\n        aria-label=\"Learn more\"\n        >\n                <\/a>\n    <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n      <\/div>\n\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Several years ago, however, the 4pm London FX fixing was discovered to be being subject to price manipulation by market makers \u2014 resulting in unnecessary volatility and sudden price spikes at that precise time of the day. Since then, new codes of conduct for the FX markets have been suggested and followed by market participants, which has decreased the wild price swings at this particular fixing time.<\/p>\n<p>To keep the markets running smoothly, market surveillance companies are once again flagging the same type of price action at the same 4pm London fixing time. The exact reason why this is happening again is unknown, but many believe that computer-driven hedge funds could be responsible for this pattern of activity.<\/p>\n<p>Does this new data suggest institutions should not trade using fixings? Absolutely not. In fact, it can still be quite beneficial for corporations to trade with fixings, especially at a time when many institutions are trading remotely.<\/p>\n<p>For corporations and other institutions that need to execute currency trades, tight market pricing and low volatility represent an environment where they can trade comfortably and fairly. In times like these; with potentially unnecessary market volatility, a practice many corporate treasurers can use to ensure consistent spreads with no price slippage is to execute at \u201cfixing times\u201d other than the London 4pm rate.<\/p>\n<p>In these times filled with technology and fast price action, tools and data are available to help navigate the best FX prices and the times of day offering optimal liquidity for trade execution.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n    <figure class=\"bbg-single-image__figure\" style=\"max-width:1024px\">\n                <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"369\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/image\/v1\/resize?width=auto&amp;type=webp&amp;url=https:\/\/assets.bbhub.io\/professional\/sites\/10\/bgne-keith.png\" class=\"bbg-single-image__image attachment-large\" alt=\"Image showing Bloomberg executable rates\" title=\"\" \/>\n        \n                <figcaption class=\"bbg-single-image__caption\" style=\"text-align: left\">\n                Monitor real time FX spreads\n        <\/figcaption>\n            <\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<div\n\tclass=\"bb-wysiwyg\"\n\t\t>\n\t<p>Analytics can help treasurers or traders see when the largest number of banks are providing foreign exchange prices. This helps formulate when the deepest amount of liquidity is available and, in turn, would offer the tightest spread between bid-offer pricing.<\/p>\n<p>An example of these analytics can be seen in the graph below, which indicates that in USD\/JPY there is a lack of pricing at 5pm ET, suggesting wider spreads at this time. This type of data can indicate to institutions that they should avoid execution at that time of day.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"\" class=\"wpb_content_element bbg-single-image align-center\">\n

headlines once again, this is still a potential beneficial option for corporations and others to trade currencies, since it allows them to easily go back to see historically where a currency was trading at the top or bottom of every hour \u2014 thus offering complete transparency to any internal process or outside auditor.<\/p>\n<p>To learn more about some of these tools and best practices,
