The Forwards market is a segment of Corporate Finance that involves the trading of financial instruments with predetermined terms and conditions. It is a type of derivative instrument, meaning that its value is derived from the value of an underlying asset. The underlying asset can be a currency, commodity, stock, or bond. The terms of the contract are agreed upon by the two parties involved in the transaction, and the contract is settled at a predetermined date in the future. The Forwards market is used by companies to hedge against currency and interest rate fluctuations, as well as to speculate on the future price of an asset. It is also used to facilitate international trade, as it allows companies to lock in a price for a future transaction. Some of the major players in the Forwards market include banks, hedge funds, and other financial institutions. These institutions provide liquidity to the market by offering contracts to buy and sell assets at predetermined prices. Additionally, there are a number of online brokers that provide access to the Forwards market for individual investors. Show Less Read more
