Preview: ... n exchange also called as forex or FX is the largest financial market in the world. Forex exists whenever one currency is traded for another. An average of $3 trillion USD is traded everyday in the global forex market.<br><br>There are a lot of features on why forex is unique. Lets discuss those features.<br>The forex is not a geographically isolated market it is geographically dispersed and the volume of trades is huge. Apart from the fact that huge volume of money is traded each day the fact that it is 24 hours available is another factor that makes it so huge. The forex market is extremely variable and changes each day. People can make profits amounting from low margins to huge profits incase the amount of trading done is high.<br><br>Statisticians say that the average $3.21 trillion turnover can be broken down in parts as follows:<br>Spot transactions contribute to $1,005 billion<br>outright forwards bring $362 billion<br>Forex swaps get in $1,714 billion<br>The gaps reporting bring $129 billion<br>And not to forget the derivatives which lead to a turnover of $2.1 trillion.<br> <br>The major foreign exchange destinations are London, New York, Tokyo and Singapore.<br>there is no central exchange or clearing house because forex is an OTC market where brokers negotiate directly with each other. The biggest geographic trading centre is the UK, primarily London, which according to IFSL estimates has increased its share of global turnover in traditional transactions from 31.3% to 32.4% .<br><br>The forex market has levels of access unlike the stock market where each player gets the access at the same price. <br>The top most level consists of the largest investment banking companies. This is called the inter-bank layer. In this layer the bid differs in large amounts basically the bid proce and the asking price is lot high and only the experts in the field have full accessible knowledge of it.<br><br>As we move down the hierarchy the difference between the bidding and asking prices grows, the reason being the increase in volume. The way a trader makes a god decision is by guarantying large numbers of transactions for large amounts. So, this way they get a smaller difference between the bidding and asking price and they make a better spread. <br>In the subsequent levels come the smaller investment companies which are on the upper side of the major multi-national companies.<br><br><br>The forex market is also termed as a 24 hrs cash market which never sleeps or dies. The reason being any currency can be bought o ...

Preview: ... the leaders of allied nations met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to set up a stable economic structure out of the chaos of World War II. The U.S. dollar <br>was fixed at $35 per ounce of gold and all other currencies were expressed in terms of dollars.” (Federal Reserve Bank of New York)<br>The gold standard has not been the international monetary system for a long time and has since been replaced with fiat currency. When the gold standard was in place, a country was unable to produce currency that represented gold that they did not have. All the money that a country created had to be backed by gold. This was a bad thing for the <br><br>Page Four<br><br>Government because they could not spend what they wanted to, because the amount of currency in circulation had to correspond to the amount of gold in their reserves.<br>The gold standard was once the subject of heated national debate over 100 years ago, but the gold standard today has nearly disappeared entirely as a political issue. The world has abandoned the gold standard in favor of paper money, and only a diminishing group on the far right continues to call for its return. However, if mainstream economists (on both the left and the right) have anything to say about it, there will never be a return to "that barbarous relic," as John Maynard Keynes called gold over 60 years ago.<br>The reason why the far right opposes the current money system is because it allows the government to control the siz ...

Preview: ... om international relations. <br> Flexibility - Post-1973 there were great changes in the pattern of world trade as well as a major change in world economics as a result of the OPEC oil shock. A fixed exchange rate would have caused major problems at this time as some countries would be uncompetitive given their inflation rate. The floating rate allows a country to re-adjust more flexibly to external shocks. <br>Lower foreign exchange reserves - A country with a fixed rate usually has to hold large amounts of foreign currency in order to prepare for a time when they have to defend that fixed rate. These reserves have an opportunity cost. <br><br>Disadvantages of the foreign exchange market: <br> Uncertainty - The fact that a currency changes in value from day to day introduces instability or uncertainty into trade. Sellers may be unsure of how much money they will receive when they sell abroad or what their price actually is abroad. Of course the rate changing will affect price and thus sales. In a similar way importers never know how much it is going to cost them to import a given amount of foreign goods. This uncertainty can be reduced by hedging the foreign exchange risk on the forward market. <br> Lack of investment - The uncertainty can lead to a lack of investment internally as well as from abroad. <br> Speculation - Speculation will tend to be an inherent part of a floating system and it can be damaging and destabilizing for the economy, as the speculative flows may often differ from the underlying pattern of trade flows. <br><br>Positive/Negative Aspects of Gold Standard: <br> In an international gold-sta ...
