The covering of a short position after it has reached and bounced off a level of support. This strategy waits for the price to move to a support level, instead of selling before, to see if the level will hold - because the trader will benefit if it doesn't hold. once the security bounces, it is clear the security will have trouble moving down further, so the trade covers the short position. |||Levels of support act as a backstop to a further move downward in price, but can sometimes fail to hold. If a security falls below a support level, it will often lead to an even stronger downward move as the level is taken out. The trader waiting for a bounce is betting that the support level will not hold and they will benefit if this materializes.
The ISO 4217 currency code for the Cuban peso, one of two official Cuban currencies. The Cuban peso (CUP) is the national currency of Cuba and is used by Cuban nationals. The CUP's subunit is the centavo. CUP coins are minted in 1, 2, 5, 20, 40, $1 and $3 denominations. Banknotes are printed in $1, $3, $5, $10, $20, $50 and $100 denominations. The CUP is issued by the Central Bank of Cuba. |||Cuba's other currency is the Cuban convertible peso, which is represented as CUC. The CUC is considered the "tourist dollar" because it is tied to the U.S. dollar and generally traded/used by Americans within the country. In November 2004, the American dollar ceased to be accepted by Cuban businesses. The country withdrew the dollar in retaliation for continued U.S. sanctions. The currency market, also known as the foreign exchange market, is the largest financial market in the world.
A cross-currency transaction is one which involves the simultaneous buying and selling of two or more currencies. An example is the purchase of Canadian dollars with yen and the simultaneous sale of yen for U.S. dollars. The term is also used generically for any transaction that involves more than one currency, such as a currency swap. |||Cross currency transactions are most common for multinational corporations or international bond funds that manage or hedge their currency exposure. Sometimes all the transactions are effected in one country without the use of that country's currency, which is referred to as a currency cross.
The currency exchange rate between two currencies, both of which are not the official currencies of the country in which the exchange rate quote is given in. This phrase is also sometimes used to refer to currency quotes which do not involve the U.S. dollar, regardless of which country the quote is provided in. |||For example, if an exchange rate between the Euro and the Japanese Yen was quoted in an American newspaper, this would be considered a cross rate in this context, because neither the euro or the yen is the standard currency of the U.S. However, if the exchange rate between the euro and the U.S. dollar were quoted in that same newspaper, it would not be considered a cross rate because the quote involves the U.S. official currency.
A pair of currencies traded in forex that does not include the U.S. dollar. One foreign currency is traded for another without having to first exchange the currencies into American dollars. |||Historically, an individual who wished to exchange a sum of money into a different currency would be required to first convert that money into U.S dollars, and then convert it into the desired currency; cross currencies help individuals and traders bypass this step. The GBP/JPY cross, for example, was invented to help individuals in England and Japan who wanted to convert their money directly without having to first convert it into U.S dollars.
A system whereby the number of credit checks on financial transactions is reduced by entering into agreements that simply net all transactions. These agreements are made between large banks and other financial institutions and place all current and future transactions into one agreement, removing the need for credit checks on each transaction. |||Most financial transactions that deal with credit involve credit checks to ensure that the borrowing party can meet the obligation of the transactions. However, due to the active nature of large market participants, the constant checking and rechecking of credit is not only time consuming, but also has the potential to create missed opportunities. The process becomes more efficient for all parties involved if they enter into larger scale agreements.
A check performed on the financial backing of the counterparties in a forex transaction. This credit check ensures that both parties have the means necessary to cover their leveraged positions in the trade and is done before the transaction takes place. |||Without the process of credit checking, one party in a forex transaction would have no assurances as to the creditworthiness of the other party involved. By engaging in credit checking before transactions take place, confidence is maintained that each party has enough credit to carry out and honor the transaction.
The currency abbreviation for the Costa Rican colon. The CRC is subdivided into 100 centimos, which is similar to how a dollar is divided into 100 cents. Historically, the colon has had a peg-like relationship with the U.S. dollar, which is described as a crawling peg. This means the colon is allowed to float within a currency band with upper and lower limits determined by the U.S. dollar's value. |||The Costa Rica colon was named after Christopher Columbus. In Spanish, Columbus is known as Cristobal colon. In addition, the CRC is occasionally referred to as the peso, which was the name of the currency that preceded the colon.
