Exchange Rates – Major Currencies

Major currency pairs are based on a list of popular currencies. These currency pairs account for most of the turnover of the global Forex markets.

Forex currencies are influenced by a series of macro-economic conditions specific to each country, as well as the world’s economic situation. Economic indicators (GDP growth, imports/exports), social factors (the unemployment rate, real estate market conditions) and the central bank’s policy are the factors that determine the value of a currency on the foreign exchange markets.
