Forex, also known as foreign exchange, FX or currency trading, is a decentralized global market where all the world's currencies trade. The forex market is the largest, most liquid market in the world with an average daily trading volume exceeding $5 trillion. All the world's combined stock markets don't even come close to this.

Foreign Exchange
We suggest investors hedge most of their FX exposures in major developed markets (DM). We favor fully hedging fixed income allocations and leaving a portion of equity holdings unhedged, especially for European investors. We give our preferred hedge ratios for standard portfolios, and explain why we favor permanent hedges over dynamically trying to maintain a set level of FX exposures.
We see some room for taking FX risk in the short term, keeping in mind the liquid, 24-hour market is often the first to respond to unexpected events. We outline what we see as key drivers of currency moves: policies affecting interest rate differentials, investor sentiment and other technical factors, valuations and economic fundamentals. We conclude we currently have low conviction on most currencies.

According to the Bank of International Settlements data (BIS, www.bis.org, global FOREX turnover climbed to 5.3 trillion USD per day in 2013 from 4.0 trillion USD in 2010. This 35% rise even outpaced the 20% rise from 2007 to 2010! It is worth noting that spot was the largest contributor to turnover growth, accounting for 41% of the turnover rise. At 2.05 trillion USD per day, SPOT trading almost reached the same volume as FOREX swaps (2.23 trillion USD) and accounts for 39% of total FOREX turnover.
Obviously, the main part of foreign exchange transactions volume is carried out by large participants of the forex market: central banks, credit institutions, investment banks, hedge funds, asset managers, transnational corporations etc., who perform foreign exchange transactions either for speculative purposes or for hedging against exchange rate risks.
In the last decades, the dynamics of forex rates fluctuations have been greatly by such factors as large international mergers and acquisitions (M&A), which generate significant cash flows.
Nevertheless, today, in the age of modern information technologies and information flows, retail clients play an increasingly important role and gain a larger share of financial and capital markets, asserting themselves as quite aggressive and serious market participants.
