23 January Watch How Time Zones Impact Global FX Trading January 23, 2017By FX Initiative FX Market Overview American, Asian, Continuing Professional Education, Currency, European, FX, Liquidity, Market, Risk Management, Time Zones, 24/7, CPE, Foreign Exchange, Trading, Volume 0 The enormity of the foreign exchange market is due to the fact that anytime foreign goods or services are bought or sold or international investment is made, companies, governments, and individuals may need to purchase the currency of the country or region in which they are conducting business. The foreign exchange market is decentralized, meaning there is no central marketplace where trading occurs. Participants in the foreign exchange market come from all over the world and trade at different times for different purposes. This worldwide network is connected through technology, and the time-zone differences between trading centers create a 24-hour market for FX trading. Using the data from the Bank for International Settlements 2013 Triennial Central Bank Survey, the following 5 minute video clip from FX Initiative’s newly released course titled “FX Market Overview” identifies the 3 major FX trading centers around the world and focuses on how the shift in time zones creates a rhythm in FX trading, with greater liquidity and volatility at certain times of the day.
