It is a market open for five days within a week and is open for business 24 hours. Today, all transactions in FX markets involve the seven main currencies including Japanese Yen (JPY), US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), British Pound (GBP), Swiss Frank (CHF), Australian Dollar (AUD), and Canadian Dollar (CAD). Currencies are usually traded versus the US Dollar in the FX markets. US Dollar is always quoted as the base currency except for the GBP, AUD, EUR and NZD or New Zealand Dollar. However cross rates also occurs. It is the exchange of rates between two currencies which is a non- US Dollar.
