Forex, or foreign exchange, is the global marketplace for trading currencies. It is the largest and most liquid market in the world, with a daily trading volume exceeding $6 trillion (about $18,000 per person in the US). This immense liquidity provides ample opportunities for traders to buy and sell currency pairs with minimal price fluctuations, making it an attractive market for both institutional and individual investors.
