Foreign Currency Trading Basics
Foreign currency trading, also known as forex trading, is one of the most popular asset categories in binary options.
How Currency Trading Works
Currencies are always traded in pairs, such as EUR/USD or GBP/JPY. When trading currency binary options, you predict whether one currency will strengthen or weaken against another.
Major Currency Pairs
- EUR/USD - Euro vs. US Dollar (most traded pair)
- GBP/USD - British Pound vs. US Dollar
- USD/JPY - US Dollar vs. Japanese Yen
- USD/CHF - US Dollar vs. Swiss Franc
Factors Affecting Currency Prices
Currency values are influenced by interest rate decisions, economic data releases, geopolitical events, and market sentiment.
