ABOUT FOREX

Most countries have their own currency such as the Japan's yen, China's yuan and the U.S. dollar. In order for one country to buy products or services from another, it must pay for them in the currency of the seller. Thus, there must be a way for them to have access to those currencies, and forex (foreign exchange) is that way. This is particularly true with commerce between countries at an all-time high

FOREX SIGNIFICANCE

Significance

Not only is forex critical to international commerce, it provides the investor with a way to invest in a currency's future. However, forex is not a financial market, per se, because there is no exchange. Rather, forex is totally electronic, run by a number of international banks, and it is available to the investor or buyer 24 hours per day, from Sundays through Fridays.

FOREX FUNCTION

Function

Many people who visit a country will exchange their own currency for that of the country they are visiting to pay for their hotel, food, taxis and other expenses. This is a relatively small source of forex's influence on international commerce. For example, forex also applies to huge transactions where one domestic company may purchase another one overseas and pay for it in the local currency of the acquired company

FOREX EFFECTS

Effects

Not only is forex essential to daily international commerce, it provides another avenue for investors to make a profit. However, forex is not for the faint of heart, because a small movement in a currency can create excessive gains or losses. That's because, unlike other markets, an investor only needs to put up about 1 percent of his investment. In addition, trading is generally done with 100,000 units of a currency.
