WHAT IS FOREX?
The forex market dates back to the abandonment of fixed exchange rates and the breakdown of the Bretton
Woods agreement. So nowadays forex market uses floating exchange rates depending on each dynamic currency's value.
Despite
the development of electronic inter-bank trading systems, electronic broking, the Euro and rationalization of the inter-bank
market through institutional mergers, the forex market remains one of the most active and liquid financial markets in the
world. In 2001 global daily forex turnover was estimated at $1,200 billion, over half of this being transacted on the London
market.
The Forex market reflects an enormous diversity of participants and broad range of sub-products. The bulk of
active forex trading is executed on a spot basis, with other trading carried out in Forwards, Futures & Options and Contracts
for Difference. Although in recent years, access to the forex markets has opened up to experienced private investors, historically
the market has been dominated by the major institutions such as Central Banks, Commercial Banks, Corporate entities, non-Government
bodies and Fund Managers.
The market is generally extremely liquid and traders have the opportunity to operate in almost
every floating currency. Trading hours are rarely restricted and prices are typically available in the major currency pairs
almost without interruption during the working week. This liquidity and frequent volatility makes the trading of currencies
an attractive investment opportunity for the experienced market participant.
