How the forex market works

Where currency battles happen in real time.

Every day, more money moves through the forex market than through stocks, bonds, and crypto combined.

This is where currencies compete against each other in real time. Dollar versus euro. Yen versus pound. One rises. One falls. Always in pairs.

Forex isn’t about vacation exchange rates. It’s the backbone of global trade, inflation, interest rates, and international investing. When central banks speak, currencies react. When economies shift, exchange rates move first.

In this skill, you’ll learn how the forex market actually works, who the real players are, and why currency moves quietly shape everything from stock returns to purchasing power.

Once you understand forex, global markets start making a lot more sense.

You'll learn:

1. How the forex market works and why it’s not just for banks or pros
2. What currency pairs actually mean and how they’re priced and traded
3. How exchange rate moves affect everything from inflation to your global portfolio
