What is Forex?
Forex, also known as foreign exchange, FX or currency trading, is a decentralized global market where all the world's currencies trade. The forex market is the largest, most liquid market in the world with an average daily trading volume exceeding $5 trillion. All the world's combined stock markets don't even come close to this. But what does that mean to you? Take a closer look at forex trading and you may find some exciting trading opportunities unavailable with other investments.
TRADING METALS
Precious metals offer insights into economic health and are often viewed as a safe haven during times of economic turmoil. As market demand is not driven by any individual geography, many smart investors trade precious metals in order to diversify their portfolio and hedge their positions, even when the markets are down.
TRADING COMMODITIES
Often used to gauge potential inflationary pressure on the economy, commodities are susceptible to sudden price movements that may present trading opportunities.
INDICES TRADING
A useful way to speculate on the world’s top financial markets, stock indices are weighted averages derived from the companies listed on the exchange, creating leveraged trading opportunities across the global equity markets.
Cryptocurrency Forex Brokers
Cryptocurrencies are trading instruments that share a lot of similarities with the traditional currencies. Many retail foreign exchange brokers offer trading services in cryptocurrency pairs (in form of CFDs) on more favorable conditions compared to exchanges. The list below is similar to that of the Bitcoin FX brokers, except for the latter also includes companies that do not allow trading in BTC but support payments in that cryptocurrency.
