Currency Trading
Overview
Currency Trading (also known as Forex or FX trading) is the process of buying and selling currencies in pairs to profit from exchange rate fluctuations. It is the largest financial market in the world, operating 24/5, with trillions of dollars traded daily.
In India, currency trading is primarily done through recognized exchanges like NSE, BSE, and MCX-SX, and is regulated by SEBI and RBI. Investors can trade in pairs such as USD/INR, EUR/INR, GBP/INR, and JPY/INR.
Currency trading offers an excellent opportunity to diversify your portfolio, hedge risks, and take advantage of global market movements.
