The foreign exchange (currency or forex or FX) market refers to the market for currencies. Transactions in this market typically involve one party purchasing a quantity of one currency in exchange for paying a quantity of another. The FX market is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, corporations, governments, and other institutions. The average daily volume in the global forex and related markets is continuously growing and was last reported to be over US$ 4 trillion in April 2007 by the Bank for International Settlement.

The FX market is a global over the counter (OTC) market (i.e. no central bank or clearing house acting as an intermediary). Deals are agreed between participants where firm credibility and local regulations ensure the delivery of transactions.

A number of market contributors execute FX deals to finance international business so as to acquire a range of assets and services. Others sell/buy currencies for speculation aiming to profit from price fluctuations. The international demand and supply for currencies is what determines the exchange rates of all currency pairs at any given moment.
The foreign exchange market is unique because of


ts trading volumes,
the extreme liquidity of the market,
the large number of, and variety of, traders in the market,
its geographical dispersion,
its long trading hours: 24 hours a day except on weekends
the variety of factors that affect exchange rates.
the low margins of profit compared with other markets of fixed income (but profits can be high due to very large trading volumes)
the use of leverage

Currencies are quoted in pairs, for example – EURUSD or USDJPY.
The first currency in the pair is called the base currency and the second is called the counter currency.
The base currency is the ‘basis’ for purchases and sales.
For example, if you buy EURUSD, then you acquire Euros and sell Dollars. You do this if you expect the Euro to grow against the Dollar.
