Companies, exporters and importers are also very much involved in
the forex market as buying and selling of products takes place all over
the world thus buying and selling of currencies to facilitate and
complete all these transactions are needed. An exporter in the USA
might have sold his products to a company in Europe in US dollars so
the importer has to buy US dollars while selling his Euro dollars to
pay for the products from the USA. Or a company may need certain parts
for their equipment which is not available locally so they have to
order from overseas.
This process requires the company to purchase the supplier's currency so as to pay for the parts.
Lastly,
we have the retail traders who have chosen the forex market above
others like equities, commodities, etc. to do our trading or
investments so as to make some profit. This is a growing segment due to
the prevalence and accessibility of the internet which allows brokers
to provide trading platforms and continuous price data feed to the
small players globally. The low and affordable cost of the internet
also helped many to participate in this growing phenomena.
Brokers
are going online with their own platforms that allow easy and simple to
use trading and also to provide education to these small retail
traders. The mushrooming numbers of brokers in recent years also act to
lower cost (wonder of competition) for the small retails traders.
Most
brokers do not charge commission and the spreads for major trading
currencies have also narrowed tremendously. There is no better time
than now to start your foray into forex trading.
