FX Markets

Foreign exchange (FX) markets are global platforms where currencies are bought and sold. They facilitate international trade, investment, and travel by enabling participants—such as governments, banks, businesses, and traders—to exchange one currency for another at current or determined future prices. The FX market operates 24/7, with currency values (exchange rates) fluctuating based on economic factors, interest rates, political stability, and market sentiment. It is the largest and most liquid financial market worldwide, serving as the backbone for global economic activity by ensuring currency needs are met efficiently across borders.
