Financial Markets

Financial markets are platforms or systems that facilitate the buying and selling of financial instruments such as stocks, bonds, currencies, and derivatives. They play a crucial role in the global economy by enabling capital allocation, price discovery, risk management, and liquidity.

What is Forex

Forex (Foreign Exchange) is the global marketplace for buying and selling currencies. It's the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with over $7.5 trillion traded daily (as of 2023). Unlike stock markets, Forex operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, across major financial centers: London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney.

What Is Traded in Forex?

Currencies are traded in pairs, where one currency is exchanged for another:
Major Pairs: Involve USD and a major global currency
Examples: EUR/USD, USD/JPY, GBP/USD
Minor Pairs: Do not include USD but involve other strong currencies
Examples: EUR/GBP, AUD/JPY
Exotic Pairs: Combine a major currency with one from a developing economy
Examples: USD/TRY (Turkish Lira), EUR/ZAR (South African Rand)

Who Trades Forex?

Central Banks – Manage national currency and economic policy
Commercial Banks – Facilitate currency exchange for clients and their own trading
