Central rate definition

Central rate refers to the fixed exchange rate set by a country’s central bank for its currency, relative to another currency or a basket of currencies. The central rate serves as a benchmark for commercial banks and other market participants in determining the value of the currency and setting their own exchange rates.

The central rate and forex trading

A country’s central bank determines its currency’s central rate, which can have an impact on its trading activity in the forex market.
For example, the central rate for AED/USD was set by the UAE central bank at 3.6735 AED per USD. A forex trader who believes that the currency pair will appreciate purchases AED at the current market rate of 3.6800 AED per USD. If the central rate does not change and AED/USD does appreciate, the trader can sell their position at the new market rate of 3.6500 AED per USD. This results in a profit for the trader.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
