Quick answers for anyone new to currencies.
What is forex?
Forex, or FX, is the market where currencies are traded against each other, such as euros for US dollars. It is the largest market in the world and runs 24 hours a day, five days a week.
What is a currency pair?
A pair shows how much of the second currency one unit of the first buys. If EUR/USD is 1.10, one euro costs 1.10 US dollars.
What is a pip?
A pip is the smallest standard price move, usually the fourth decimal place (0.0001). For pairs with the Japanese yen it is the second decimal (0.01).
When is forex most active?
Trading is busiest when sessions overlap, especially when London and New York are both open. Spreads are usually tighter and prices move more then.
What moves currency prices?
Interest rates, inflation, jobs data, central bank decisions and risk mood all move currencies. A higher expected interest rate usually supports a currency.
What is the DXY?
The US Dollar Index (DXY) tracks the dollar against six major currencies, led by the euro. It is a quick way to see if the dollar is strong or weak overall.
