Beginners Guide to FX Trading with City Index
LONDON, May 2, 2012/PRNewswire/ --
Trading forex is the act of simultaneously buying one currency while selling another
for the purpose of speculation. As one of the world's most traded markets, it has an
average turnover in excess of US$4 trillion daily, which when compared to the New York
Stock Exchange - whose turnover is typically around US$50 billion daily - you can see how
popular this particular market really is.
Trade the Opportunity 24-Hours a Day
Investors choosing to trade forex can benefit from accessing the market 24-hours a
day. This is one of the key reasons that the forex markets are so popular with an array of
traders, as it offers them the exposure they so desire.
As a global currency market, it trades from Sunday evening through to Friday night,
following the clock where it then opens on Monday morning in Wellington, New Zealand;
progressing to Asia - spearheaded out of Singapore and Tokyo, before moving to London
coming to a close New York on Friday night.
Forex Leverage
As a leveraged product, investors require depositing only a small percentage of the
full value of their position. In turn, this means that the potential for both profits -
and losses - is significantly higher than in more conventional forms of trading.
Influencers: Forex Prices
Some of the key factors that influence forex prices are:
- Political and economic stability
- Monetary Policy
- Currency intervention
- Natural disasters (earthquakes, tsunamis etc)
