	Forward points (for example one month forward points of 5-8) are a conventional short-form method of quoting ~~multiple~~ forward foreign exchange rates, by reference to the related foreign exchange spot quote.		Forward points (for example one month forward points of 5-8) are a conventional short-form method of quoting forward foreign exchange (FX) rates, by reference to the related foreign exchange spot quote.

	The spot foreign exchange quote is adjusted by applying, for example, the one-month forward points to it, to calculate the full one month forward foreign exchange quote.		The spot foreign exchange quote is adjusted by applying, for example, the one-month forward points to it, to calculate the full one month forward foreign exchange quote.

			1.6000 + 0.0005

			= 1.6005 USD

			1.6010 + 0.0008

			= 1.6018 USD


			The full forward quote (bid-offer) is:

	GBP 1 = 1.6005 - 1.6018 USD.		GBP 1 = 1.6005 - 1.6018 USD.
