Foreign currency exchange rates are what
it costs to exchange one countrys currency
for another countrys currency. For example,
if you go to England on vacation, you will
have to pay for your hotel, meals,
admissions fees, souvenirs and other
expenses in British pounds. Since your money
is all in US dollars, you will have to use
(sell) some of your dollars to buy British
pounds.
Assume you go to your bank before you
leave and buy $1,000 worth of British
pounds. If you get 565.83 British pounds
(?565.83) for your $1,000, each dollar is
worth .56583 British pounds. This is the
exchange rate for converting dollars to
pounds.
If ?565.83 is not enough cash for your
trip, you will have to exchange more US
dollars for pounds while in England. Assume
you buy another $1,000 worth of British
pounds from a bank in England and get only
?557.02 for your $1,000. The exchange rate
for converting dollars to pounds has dropped
from .56583 to .55702. This means that US
dollars are worth less compared to the
British pound than they were before you left
on vacation.
As you can see from the example, currency
exchange rates fluctuate. As the value of
one currency rises or falls relative to
another, traders decide to buy or sell
currencies to make profits. Retail customers
also participate in the forex market,
generally as speculators who are hoping to
profit from changes in currency rates.
Foreign currency exchange rates may be
traded in one of three ways:
1. On an exchange that is regulated by
the Commodity Futures Trading Commission
(CFTC). For example, the Chicago Mercantile
Exchange offers forex futures and options on
futures products. Exchange-traded forex
futures and options provide their users with
a liquid, secondary market for contracts
with a set unit size, a fixed expiration
date and centralized clearing.
2. On an exchange that is regulated by
the Securities and Exchange Commission
(SEC). For example, the Philadelphia Stock
Exchange offers options on currencies (i.e.,
the right but not the obligation to buy or
sell a currency at a specific rate within a
specified time). Exchange-traded options on
currencies have characteristics similar to
exchange-traded futures and options (e.g., a
liquid, secondary market with a set size, a
fixed expiration date and centralized
clearing).
3. In the off-exchange, also called the
over-the-counter (OTC), market. A retail
customer trades directly with a counterparty
and there is no exchange or central clearing
house to support the transaction.
Off-exchange trading is subject to limited
regulatory oversight.
