Whois & Analysis for forexlive.com

The foreign exchange market (forex, FX, or currency market) is a global decentralized market for the trading of currencies.

This includes all aspects of buying, selling and exchanging currencies at current or determined prices.

In terms of volume of trading, it is by far the largest market in the world, followed by the Credit market.

The main participants in this market are the larger international banks.

Financial centres around the world function as anchors of trading between a wide range of multiple types of buyers and sellers around the clock, with the exception of weekends.

The foreign exchange market does not determine the relative values of different currencies, but sets the current market price of the value of one currency as demanded against another.

In finance, technical analysis is a security analysis methodology for forecasting the direction of prices through the study of past market data, primarily price and volume.

The efficacy of both technical and fundamental analysis is disputed by the efficient-market hypothesis which states that stock market prices are essentially unpredictable.

A financial market is a market in which people trade financial securities, commodities, and other fungible items of value at low transaction costs and at prices that reflect supply and demand.

An economy (From Greek οίκος – "household" and νęμoμαι – "manage") is an area of the production, distribution, or trade, and consumption of goods and services by different agents in a given geographical location.

Understood in its broadest sense, 'The economy is defined as a social domain that emphasizes the practices, discourses, and material expressions associated with the production, use, and management of resources'.

Economic agents can be individuals, businesses, organizations, or governments.

Economic transactions occur when two parties agree to the value or price of the transacted good or service, commonly expressed in a certain currency.

Monetary transactions only account for a small part of the economic domain.
