2. Major currencies in forex

USD — US Dollar

The US Dollar is the most widely used currency in international finance and is involved in a large share of global forex transactions.

Example major pairs: EUR/USD, GBP/USD, USD/JPY, USD/CHF, USD/CAD, AUD/USD, NZD/USD

EUR — Euro

The Euro is the official currency used by many countries within the Eurozone. EUR/USD is one of the world's most actively traded forex pairs. The Euro can be influenced by European economic data, European Central Bank decisions, interest rates, inflation, and Eurozone economic conditions.

Example major pair: EUR/USD

GBP — British Pound

The British Pound, or Pound Sterling, is the currency of the United Kingdom. GBP can be influenced by Bank of England decisions, UK inflation, employment data, interest rates, and economic growth.

Example major pair: GBP/USD

JPY — Japanese Yen

The Japanese Yen is one of the most actively traded Asian currencies. It can be influenced by Bank of Japan monetary policy, Japanese economic data, interest rates, and broader market risk sentiment.

Example major pair: USD/JPY

CHF — Swiss Franc

The Swiss Franc is the currency of Switzerland. It is also frequently discussed as a potential safe-haven currency during periods of financial or geopolitical uncertainty.

Example major pair: USD/CHF

CAD — Canadian Dollar

The Canadian Dollar is commonly known as the Loonie. CAD can be influenced by Canadian economic data, interest rates, and commodity markets, particularly energy prices.

Example major pair: USD/CAD

3. Understanding currency pairs

Forex currencies are always quoted in pairs.

Example: EUR/USD = 1.1000. This means 1 Euro = 1.10 US Dollars.

The first currency is the base currency; the second is the quote currency. In EUR/USD, EUR is the base currency and USD is the quote currency.

If EUR/USD rises, the Euro has increased in value relative to the US Dollar. If EUR/USD falls, the Euro has decreased in value relative to the US Dollar.

• EUR/USD — Euro / US Dollar
• GBP/USD — British Pound / US Dollar
• USD/JPY — US Dollar / Japanese Yen
• USD/CHF — US Dollar / Swiss Franc
• AUD/USD — Australian Dollar / US Dollar
• USD/CAD — US Dollar / Canadian Dollar
• NZD/USD — New Zealand Dollar / US Dollar

These pairs generally have high trading activity and are widely followed by forex traders.
