Currencies

The Forex market is the largest financial market on Earth. Currencies are always quoted in pairs like this: EUR/USD. When you trade currencies, you buy one while selling the other. In this case, you would be buying EUR and selling USD. The retail FX market, as the currency market is commonly called, is a purely speculative market. No physical exchange of currencies ever takes place. Popular currency pairs at XLN Trade are EUR/USD, GBP/EUR, CAD/CHF, AUD/USD and NZD/JPY.
