Abstract
O presente artigo abordará a noção jurídica de um dos contratos mais
controversos dos últimos tempos, enunciando quais as suas principais finalidades. O especial
destaque vai para a finalidade especulativa que o contrato de swap pode prosseguir. Uma
questão que tem sido debatida em Portugal é a de perceber se o contrato de swap com
finalidade puramente especulativa é válido. O Supremo Tribunal de Justiça português
considerou um contrato de swap puramente especulativo inválido, argumentando que o
mesmo era contrário à ordem pública. O artigo irá analisar as virtualidades da especulação,
tentando perceber se a decisão proferida fora a mais correta.
