An overview of WMR FX Benchmarks

For more than 20 years, WMR FX Benchmarks have served as fully independent, objective, and unbiased sources for FX data. We pledge to ensure that the benchmarks remain trusted and fundamental components of market infrastructure – and are continually enhanced as market needs change.

Our published and transparent calculation methodology is fully aligned with the IOSCO Principles for Financial Benchmarks. The WMR Spot, Forward and NDF Benchmark Rates (including London 4pm Closing Spot Rates) are administered by Refinitiv Benchmark Services Limited, authorised as a Benchmark Administrator under EU BMR.

Designed to bring greater transparency to pricing in the FX market, WMR rates are built with data sourced directly from market transactions, applying multiple validation techniques on captured and calculated rates to result in accurate spot rates for each fix throughout the day.
