What is Forex Trading?
The foreign exchange market, or forex, FX, currency market is a worldwide decentralized over-the-counter financial market for the trading of currencies. Financial centers around the world act as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers 24 hours per day except weekends. The foreign exchange market assists international trade and investment by allowing businesses to convert one currency to another foreign currency. As an example, a European company can import U.S. goods and pay dollars, even though the business’s income is in Euros. The foreign exchange market is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world where traders include currency speculators, corporations, governments, large banks, central banks and other financial institutions.
