Foreign Exchange Market Statistics 2000-2013
The Forex Market
The Forex (Foreign Exchange) market is a decentralized, over-the-counter (OTC) financial market where currencies are traded. Operating 24 hours a day through an electronic network of banks (ECNs), Forex is one of the most liquid and dynamic markets in the world. Daily trading volume is estimated to exceed $4 trillion, with the vast majority—approximately 90%—driven by speculative trading, primarily from day traders.
Structure of the Forex Market
The modern free-floating Forex system began in 1971 following the collapse of the Bretton Woods agreement. Online retail Forex trading gained momentum in the late 1990s with the advent of internet-based platforms. The Forex market operates continuously from Sunday at 5:00 PM EST to Friday at 4:00 PM EST, starting in the Asia-Pacific region and moving through the Middle East, Europe, and North America in a 24-hour cycle.
