Commodity swap
A commodity swap is an agreement whereby a floating (or market or spot) price based on an underlying commodity is traded for a fixed price over a specified period.
A Commodity swap is similar to a Fixed-Floating Interest rate swap. The difference is that in an Interest rate swap the floating leg is based on standard Interest rates such as LIBOR, EURIBOR etc. but in a commodity swap the floating leg is based on the price of underlying commodity like Oil, Sugar etc. No Commodities are exchanged during the trade.
