Forex Overview


However there is a problem in the forex market until this day, there is no one central exchange where everyone can exchange the currency. All the currency traded are done over the telephone and online through a very big networks that connects all the banks, brokers and currency traders with each others. In 2002, the CFTC, the SEC and the State of Utah filed an action against a company known as 4NExchange� for violations of state and Federal laws as the firm's principals illegally offered foreign currency contracts through an alleged Ponzi scheme that cost investors nearly $15 million.

The average Forex broker offers about 25 separate currency pairs to trade. Most of these pairs involve at least one of the major world currencies (the euro, dollar, pound or yen) although some also offer trading in a few exotic pairs as well. With so many choices at hand, it can be difficult at times for a new trader to decide upon one or two pairs to trade consistently.

It is not the failed healthcare bill itself that has caused all these market moves. Yes that may well have been the trigger, but investors are worried about the challenges Trump will face in trying to get his other policies passed which may well limit the government's fiscal spending. The worry is that only will this weigh on GDP, but potentially on inflation too. Thus, the Fed may not raise interest rates as aggressively as had been priced in, hence the falls in the dollar.
