Forex currencies

Most Forex exchanges invariably involve the U.S. dollar against a different currency,

as the American economy remains the biggest. Other currencies serve as the base for trade as well, such as the Japanese Yen, the British Sterling, the Swiss Franc, and the German mark. Each country's market has its own particular properties.
Euro came up to take the place of the German mark. The latter was the foundation. The European central bank has replaced the Bundesbank that has lost its past significance after the former East Germany came to reconsolidation.
The feature of the Japanese yen is its instability in some previous years. The greatest rise of this currency has happened in October 1998 when the dollar has suffered 15% reduction against the Japanese yen within a number of days.

The Swiss franc is sometimes called "a safe heaven" fulfilling the same function as the dollar does. It is called like this because of the neutrality and independent policy pursued by Switzerland, its economy isolation and banking system privacy.
The British pound has always had significance for the international exchange markets but it mostly hasn't been stronger than other currencies. This trend has changed vice-versa lately and the British pound has become one of the most important and attractive currencies in Europe. It was the first currency that Forex market dealt with through cables crossing the Atlantic, that's why the term "cable" has appeared.

European currencies had a number of crises because of the attempts to adjust their rates towards one another artificially. French frunk and German mark used to create the basis for the Continental European currencies and formed the European currency stem. The stability was useful for the Benelux countries. Considerable fluctuations around this stem were seen in the currencies of rest of the Europe, Mediterranean and Scandinavian countries in particular.

Great alterations have come to foreign exchange trading after the European common currency has appeared in 2001. A number of European banks were forced to make their trading assets reconsideration after the currencies of the countries taking part in the unification were fixed relative one another at the beginning of 1998. Still the Euro appearance is not thought to be harmful for the foreign exchange markets health. The Euro being weak has turned into mark and made non-participating European currencies less stable and more affective to speculative forces. It gives prospects for sterling along with the Swiss franc to turn into the most important European currency market.
