Swap trade adjusts the trading price arising from the differential in interest rates. Looking at the trade of long position in USD-JPY as we have mentioned above, and the cost of the position is decreasing day by day. It means a little advantageous for players whi have USD-JPY long position because the price they got originally becomes lower. This is caused by the swap trade for rolling over at the end of the day, and as a result, the trading price is adjusted, which is arising from the interest rate earning between US dollar and Japanese Yen.
To say exactly, the old position is set off by one side of the swap trade and the new one is set up by another side of the swap trade with taking the carrying cost into account. The swap trade itself yields nothing. Roughly saying, the higher yield currency is decreasing its values with passage of time. Even if you get some swap points in favor, the value would be going down in the forex market. Adversely, the interest rate might be going down when the value of higher yield foreign currencies is going up.
