Foreign Exchange Dealing Room and Currency Hedging Operations

Volatile African currencies make hands on foreign exchange execution and hedging a core treasury skill rather than a theoretical topic. This course focuses on the practical mechanics of dealing, from quoting and settlement to forwards, swaps and options used to hedge exposure. Simulations build confidence in executing and confirming trades correctly.

What you will be able to do

  • Interpret spot, forward and swap quotes in practical dealing situations.
  • Execute and confirm foreign exchange trades through the dealing cycle.
  • Select hedging instruments to match underlying currency exposures.
  • Calculate forward points and hedge cost for common scenarios.
  • Apply dealing controls that separate front and back office duties.
  • Document hedging decisions in line with treasury policy.
