What is traded on the Foreign Exchange With ForexGen ?
Different countries use different currencies, however cross-border has to take place.The FOREX is therefore a vehicle driven by the need to move monetary payments across border and transfer funds and value from one currency to another.
If the whole world used one currency there would be no need for the FOREX market.
For example if a US restaurant needs to buy Italian cheese it needs Euros to pay the Italian cheese maker so it must be able to exchange US dollars for Euros. Likewise if the US restaurant makes the payment in US dollars the Italian cheese maker must be able to exchange the dollars into Euros.
It's as simple as that.
