Hi GengaKev,
I have seen this term used quite a lot and have a rough idea of what it means but could you please further clarify what forward purchase means and how/who you approach to do this.

Thanks

Have a read here:

I have just had a chat with hifx in Windsor and it seems the driver behind the currency movement is some good economic news from the US, which is causing investors to bale out of what have been higher yielding currencies such as A$'s and back into US$'s.

Best regards.
