The Foreign Exchange market, also known as Forex or FX, is a decentralized global market for the trading of currencies. It is the largest financial market in the world, with an average daily trading volume of over $5 trillion.
In the Forex market, traders buy and sell different currencies in order to take advantage of changing exchange rates. The exchange rate between two currencies is determined by the supply and demand of each currency.
The Forex market is open 24 hours a day, five days a week, and is accessible to anyone with an internet connection. It is also highly liquid, meaning that traders can easily enter and exit positions.
Some of the major players in the Forex market include banks, hedge funds, central banks, and retail traders. Major banks such as Citibank, UBS, and Deutsche Bank are active in the Forex market, as well as large hedge funds such as Bridgewater Associates and Man Group. Retail traders can access the Forex market through online brokers such as IG, Oanda, and Plus500. Show Less Read more
