Currency Cross
Definition: A
currency cross is an instrument tradable on the foreign exchange
market that does not include the US Dollar.
Additional
Info: Traditionally
changing GBP (Great Britain Pound) into JPY (Japanese Yen) would
require changing the GBP into US Dollars and changing these Dollars
into JPY. Currency crosses were invented to make the changing of
foreign currencies much easier by eliminating the Dollar transaction,
hence the GBPJPY currency cross.
