I feel this course will be incomplete unless I include this section. Most of the information included in this section might seem basic, but some are quite advanced in my opinion. I would recommend that you go through each and every currency and hopefully you will understand them better.
Let’s get started!
 |
EUR/USD |
 |
- The original Euro Zone is made up of 12 countries, and they are: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia, and Spain.
- The major countries in the EURO Zone are: France, Italy, Germany, and Spain.
- There are over 500 million people using Euro as their currency.
- The EUR/USD is one of the most traded currency pair in the Forex Market. It covers about 50% of all the activities of the Forex Market.
- EUR/USD valuation is primarily driven by the US Dollar Index. Since US Dollar is on 90% of all currency trades. USD is the dominant currency.
- US Dollar Index is made up of: Euro 58%, Yen 13%, Pound 12%, Canadian 9%, Swedish Kroner 4% and Swiss Franc 4%. (AUD & NZD are not included in the Index)
By looking at correlations of USD/CHF and EUR/USD, one can use movements on the Swiss Franc as gauge to market sentiment.
If USD is weak, EURO gets a default boost as it is the 2nd most traded currency. If USD is strong, EURO will be weak as default.
