Awesome site! www.etoro.com ███ A beginners guide to the foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a global, worldwide decentralized financial market for trading currencies. Financial centers around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of different types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends. The foreign exchange market determines the relative values of different currencies.[1] The foreign exchange market assists international trade and investment, by enabling currency conversion. For example, it permits a business in the United States to import goods from the United Kingdom and pay pound sterling, even though its income is in United States dollars. It also supports direct speculation in the value of currencies, and the carry trade, speculation on the change in interest rates in two currencies.[2] In a typical foreign exchange transaction, a party purchases a quantity of one currency by paying a quantity of another currency. The modern foreign exchange market began forming during the 1970s after three decades of government restrictions on foreign exchange transactions (the Bretton Woods system of monetary management established the rules for commercial and financial relations among the world’s major industrial states after World War II), when countries gradually switched to floating exchange rates from the previous exchange rate regime …

Forex Video Library – Forex Transaction Basics
In this video you’ll learn the basic concepts involved in a forex transaction. What actually happens when you buy or sell a currency pair? Why do rates increase or decrease? How can you trade forex? Watch this video to find out. Forex transactions involve two currencies — one currency is purchased while the other is sold. Consider the euro dollar currency pair. If you bought this pair, you would be buying Euros and selling dollars. If you sold this pair, you would be selling euros and buying dollars. As more traders buy the EUR/USD pair, the value of the euro strengthens relative to the dollar and the exchange rate increases. Likewise, when more traders sell the EUR/USD, the value of the euro weakens relative to the dollar and the exchange rate decreases. Traders attempt to predict future exchange rate movements, in order to profit as the exchange rate moves in their favor. Let’s look at an example. At this time, the EUR/USD currency pair is trading at 1.4088. If a trader anticipates that the exchange rate will increase, they can buy the euro dollar pair. If the rate increases, the trader can close his pair by selling back the euro dollar pair at a higher price, making a profit. In this case, a profit of three pips. (PAUSE) However, if the trader had bought the pair at 1.4088 but closed his trade at a lower price, the trader would make a loss, in this case, a loss of three pips. Let’s look at an example. At this time, the EUR/USD currency pair is trading at 1.4088. If a …
Exchange Rate Still in Focus
Follow us on TWITTER: twitter.com Like us on FACEBOOK: www.facebook.com Next week US-China strategic economic dialogue will be held in Washington DC and RMB exchange rate is still in the focus. Geithner, the US Treasury Secretary hopes that RMB appreciation will accelerate. Scholars believe however, that the Chinese government will not let go of the RMB exchange rate. “US-China Strategic Economic Dialogue” led in its 3rd round by US Secretary of State and Geithner, and Chinese Vice Premier Wang Qishan, will work on issues of bilateral relations development. Geithner said recently that he would urge Chinese officials to implement a series of economic reforms, including introducing more flexible exchange rates driven by market forces, and improving US companies investing environment. Geithner also said the focus of this talk will be the currency exchange rate of RMB to USD. RMB appreciation is good to curb China』s inflation, also it can prevent expanding of real estate bubble in China. Chinese leaders also recognize this. US economist Ho Qinglian said RMB appreciation can only curb foreign exchange reserves, reducing domestic money deposited. Most likely it can inhibit the export, but effect on price increases is limited. Geithner acknowledged that since last June, China has allowed the rate of RMB to USD to increase by about 5%. US congressmen and manufacturers believe RMB value was down by as much as 40%, making Chinese goods on markets very cheap. Huang Yiping, an …
