FX

The Foreign Exchange Market, commonly referred to as Forex or FX, is an arena where the exchange of one currency for another currency takes place at an agreed price. It was created in the 1970’s when international trade transitioned from fixed to floating exchange rates, and is now considered to be the largest financial market in the world.

The CIX Advantage

Based on a very simple idea, as the market evolves so do we. Always listening to our

clients requirements so that we can develop our service to meet their FX trading needs.

Over 85% of Forex trading is concentrated in the major currency pairs, which are

combinations of the EUR, USD, JPY, GBP, CHF, AUD, CAD. The FX market is the largest by size with

an average daily turnover of around $ 5.5 trillion.

Liquidity

The most liquid Global Market

The FX market is world’s largest financial trading market with over $5.5 trillion traded daily volume compared to approximately $42.6 billion of shares listed on the NYSE. The markets are at their most liquid during the London Trading Hours as over 50% of the daily volume is transacted through the London Forex Market.

The liquidity available in the FX Markets enables traders to open and close positions more easily than in other asset classes, bringing down the overall costs of trading. The depth of the FX Market means that price gaps are less likely to occur in comparison to other asset classes like futures and equities.
