Forex Trading – Foreign Exchange Course

Do you want to learn more about Forex?

Foreign exchange, or forex, is the conversion of one country’s currency into another.
In a free economy, a country’s currency is valued according to the laws of supply and demand.
In other words, a currency’s value can be pegged to another country’s currency, such as the U.S. dollar, or even to a basket of currencies.
A country’s currency value may also be set by the country’s government.
However, many countries freely float their currencies in comparison to other countries’ currencies, which keeps them constant fluctuation.
