Forex

 

Forex or Foreign Exchange refers to any trading on the currency market. The forex market is a highly liquid market that large corporations and financial firms use as a way to manage financial risk. The forex market can be regulated by the CFTC, but generally does not. Most traders rely on fundamental and technical analysis to arbitrage spot transactions and forward contracts and also work with sovereign debt, interest rate swaps, and corporate bonds.
