Background to the Foreign Exchange Markets
The demise of fixed exchange rates in the early 1970s signalled an increase in currency market volatility and foreign exchange trading opportunities.

Market prices are determined by supply and demand, political and economic events, Central Bank intervention and technical factors. The challenge for market participants is to find the optimum time at which to transact business.

The foreign exchange market is the most liquid of all financial markets. It is a global marketplace where financial institutions, importers, exporters, investors and hedge funds contribute towards a turnover which exceeds $2 trillion worth of currency every day.
