概要

This tutorial explores the FX market and its role in the global economy. We examine the difference between hard and exotic currencies, the reason for the importance of the US dollar, the euro, the different exchange rate systems, and the major currency pairs that are traded globally on a daily basis. We describe the consequences of the recent market events such as the investigations into the WM/Reuters fix. We outline the structure which a bank organises its FX business and the different roles within that structure. We look at some of the key risks generated by FX businesses and the solutions employed by banks to mitigate these risks. This tutorial introduces the spot FX market and explains how currencies can be traded similarly to commodities.
