[Meaning] Floating Price : In a swap contract, the floating price is the leg that depends on the level of a variable, such as an interest rate, currency exchange rate, or price of an asset. Most swaps involve a floating and a fixed leg, although it is possible for both legs to be floating. The party paying the floating rate expects that rate to decline over the life of the swap. A swap is an agreement between two parties to exchange sequences of cash flows for a set period of time. Usually, at the time of contract initiation, at least one of these series of cash flows is determined by a random or uncertain variable, such as an interest rate, foreign exchange rate, equity price or commodity price.
