Understanding Exchange Rates
What Affects Exchange Rates?
Exchange rates are influenced by multiple economic factors:
- Interest rate differentials between countries
- Inflation rates and purchasing power
- Economic growth and GDP performance
- Political stability and geopolitical events
- Trade balances and current account deficits
- Central bank policies and interventions
- Market sentiment and speculation

- Sydney Session: 10 PM - 7 AM GMT
- Tokyo Session: 12 AM - 9 AM GMT
- London Session: 8 AM - 5 PM GMT

Reading Currency Quotes
Currency pairs show exchange rates between two currencies:
- Base Currency: First currency in the pair (EUR in EUR/USD)
- Quote Currency: Second currency in the pair (USD in EUR/USD)
- Exchange Rate: How much quote currency equals one unit of base currency
- Pip: Smallest price movement, typically 0.0001
Example: EUR/USD = 1.0850 means 1 Euro equals 1.0850 US Dollars.
