This study aims to find empirical evidence of how far macroeconomic variables affect the returns of ten FRSC investment instruments: AUD/USD, EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, GBP/JPY, EUR/JPY, AUD/NZD, NZD/USD, and USD/CAD traded at Indonesia Commodity & Derivatives Exchange (ICDX) during the period 2021 - 2022.

The study results showed that the determinant of interest rate and inflation did not affect FRSC return; JCI return and gold price return had a significant positive on FRSC return; bond index return and crude oil price return had a negative effect on FRSC return.
