Study Notes

Foreign Exchange Market

The foreign exchange market is a global marketplace where currencies from different countries are bought and sold.
This market facilitates financial transactions involving different currencies.
Exporters sell foreign currencies they receive from international sales, while importers purchase foreign currencies to pay for goods and services.
The foreign exchange market operates through two key mechanisms:
- Spot Market: This segment involves the immediate exchange of currencies, with delivery occurring within two business days.
- Forward Market: In this segment, currencies are traded for future delivery at a pre-determined exchange rate. This allows businesses to manage currency risk and reduce uncertainty.
