What is the Forex Market?
The foreign exchange market is where currencies are traded. Currencies are important to most people around the world, whether they realize it or not, because currencies need to be exchanged in order to conduct foreign trade and business. If you are living in the U.S. and want to buy cheese from France, either you or the company that you buy the cheese from has to pay the French for the cheese in Euros (EUR). This means that the U.S. importer would have to exchange the equivalent value of U.S. dollars (USD) into Euros. The same goes for traveling. A French tourist in Egypt can’t pay in Euros to see the pyramids because it’s not the locally accepted currency. As such, the tourist has to exchange the Euros for the local currency, in this case the Egyptian pound, at the current exchange rate.
The foreign exchange market is an over-the-counter (OTC) market for the trading of currencies. This market determines the foreign exchange rate. It includes buying, selling and exchanging currencies at current or predetermined prices. The foreign exchange market is the largest in the world. The principal participants in this market are the big international banks.
The foreign exchange market accommodates international trade and investments by allowing currency conversion. The Forex service providers can be broadly divided into Banks, brokers, technology supported service providers and other specialist forex financial institutions. The services provided by these institutions predominately include corporate, individual and retail services.
Forex exchange is done by a business or financial institution that has the legal right to exchange one currency for another currency to its clients. Forex exchange can be a stand-alone business or can be part of the services offered by a bank or other financial institution. Forex exchanger or moneychanger is a person whose business is the exchange of one currency to another. Forex exchange institution gains profits from its services provided wither through adjusting the exchange rate or taking a commission.
