Basis Point

What is a Basis Point?


Definition of a Basis Point: A commonly used financial jargon in describing interest rates or forex trading price movements

In financial terms, a basis point is one percent or one hundred pips. For example, having a quote of 1.3493 EUR/USD - to move one basis point the currency would need to increase by 100 pips. So a move from 1.3493 to 1.3593 would be a move by one basis point.
