Calculating US500 Index Swap Rates in AUD

 

Hi, Apologies if this has been asked.

Looking at MT4, Market Watch window, I see the US500 has a Swap Long of -7. How is this used to calculate the swap rate in dollars with an account in AUD? What are the calculation Steps? Thanks.

Swap Amount (AUD) = Swap Value (= -7 USD) * Number of Lots * Exchange Rate (USD/AUD)

Thanks Oleksandr, I misunderstand the -7 to be 7%, not 7USD. Kind Thanks.

As this value is set by the broker you have to ask them. I think it depends on the interests rates (and risk and ...) of the forex symbol.
