Exchange Rate Basics

Exchange rates move continuously based on demand, central bank policy expectations, and market liquidity. Understanding a few core terms can improve conversion outcomes.

Core terms

• Spot rate: the current market quote
• Spread: difference between buy and sell quotes
• Volatility: magnitude and speed of short-term movement
• Effective rate: real conversion result after all fees

Practical tip

Always compare providers using final received amount in INR, not headline exchange rate alone.
