FOREX MARKET
Forex Market Overview
The foreign exchange (Forex) market is the largest and most liquid financial market in the world, with an average daily trading volume of over $6 trillion. Unlike stock markets that have fixed trading hours, forex operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, connecting financial centers across London, New York, Tokyo, and Sydney. This global network allows traders to exchange currencies, commodities like gold, and even crypto assets in real time.
At Gaze FX, we provide live quotes, real-time charts, and market insights so traders of all levels can stay updated with price movements and make informed decisions.
