The foreign exchange market is the market in which participants are able to buy, sell, exchange and speculate on currencies. Foreign exchange markets are made up of banks, commercial companies, central banks, investment management firms, hedge funds, and retail forex brokers and investors. The forex market is considered the largest financial market in the world.
The foreign exchange market – also called #forex, #FX, or #currency market – trades currencies. Aside from providing a floor for the buying, selling, exchanging and speculation of currencies, the forex market also enables currency conversion for international trade and investments.
The forex market has unique characteristics and properties that make it an attractive market for investors who want to optimize their profits.
In the forex market, as one major forex market closes, one in another part of the world opens. Unlike stocks, the forex market operates 24 hours daily except on weekends. Traders find this as one of the most compelling reasons to choose forex, since it provides convenient opportunities for those who are in school or work during regular work days and hours.
In 2013, the Triennial Central Bank Survey of Foreign exchange and OTC Derivatives Market Activity provided statistics on the amount of currencies traded daily, and has stated an average of $4 trillion traded daily. The break-down of this amount shows that $1.490 trillion were traded in spot transactions, $475 billion in outright forwards, $1.765 trillion in foreign exchange swaps, $43 billion in currency swaps, and $207 billion in options and other forex products.
