The Bloomberg BFIX rates are FX reference rates intended to represent FX market prices around specific publication times. BFIX rates are generated every 30 minutes on the hour and half-hour (liquidity permitting). The BFIX rates are created by taking a short-term Time-Weighted Average Price (TWAP) of the geometric mid-rates of Bloomberg Generic (BGN) prices leading up to and following the fixing time. BGN is a pricing algorithm that produces highly accurate bid and ask FX quotes in real-time.
Data Source: BGN quotes are designed to represent market-consensus executable prices and are derived from hundreds of quote providers, including top tier money-center and regional banks, broker-dealers, and inter-dealer brokers, as well as FX electronic trading platforms.
