Money markets are places where moneys can be bought sold or borrowed. The foreign exchange market is when one currency is traded for another currency. It is the largest market in the world trading for cash value, trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations and governments. The foreign exchange market is said to be unique due to its trading value, the liquidity of the market, the large number and variety of traders in the market, how they are wide spread geographically, and because of its long trading hours (Answers.com).
The major markets within the foreign exchange are London, New York, Tokyo, and Singapore. London is the largest, second is New York and Tokyo & Singapore are next with Hong Kong right along with the other Asian countries (Ball, D., McCulloch, W. Jr., Frantz, P. Geringer, & Minor, M., 2006). London became the largest market for several reasons. First, it is a great location. The second reason is its operating during the Asian and American markets. The last reason is the creation of the euro market.
The Euro was created in the 1950’s when Russia’s oil revenue, in U.S. dollars was, was deposited outside of the United States in fear of it being frozen by U.S. authorities. This made for a large amount of U.S. to be outside of their control (Answers.com). The euro is accepted in European countries that still use their original currency. Britain and Switzerland are two European countries that use the euro in conjunction with their own currency. The islands of Guadeloupe, Martinique, St.
Barts and St. Martin use the euro now as their official currency.London has a very important role in currency trading. London shares trading hours with markets in Asia and the Middle East during its morning session and with the New York market during its afternoon session, London has more opportunities to make more transactions than both the New York and Tokyo markets (Ball, D., McCulloch, W. Jr., Frantz, P. Geringer, & Minor, M., 2006).
The liquid currencies are the Singapore dollars. Singapore is the fourth largest trading center in the world and also the largest center of non-yen trade in Asia. The Unites States dollar is the most traded currency, but the U.S. dollar euro market is the busiest. Next in line is the United States sterling, then the Unites States Swiss franc, and last is the euro-yen. The United States dollar is dominating the other markets as the most traded currency and it continues to increase. This is mainly due to the Asian markets continued growth. The majority of the trading done in Asia is traded in the United States dollar (Ball, D., McCulloch, W. Jr., Frantz, P. Geringer, & Minor, M., 2006).
U.S. Pound Liquid Currency
Pit money is the largest of all money of value, but it’s traded on a separate exchange. Many of those that are traded on the U.S. dollar have to take payment for their goods and services. A simple way to see this is with a dollar amount such as the following. An item like this from U.S. retail stores sells for ~ $1,500. On the U.S. dollar and the US dollar exchange rates, a product makes ~$800,000, which is less than $100,000. On each exchange, the amount the customer pays is expressed in the form of a dollar. This means that, as we see, some of the items that are traded on the dollar also make up the currency of the United States. It was very common with foreign products that would cost only $50 or so, as well as certain products made of gold. This is the way it is with many of the currencies we see on the planet. For example, if you have a car you want to exchange by, you can exchange your car’s parts by swapping them on a piece of paper or on a piece of paper. There is no currency system, so it’s possible simply to use a machine or wire wire to transfer credit or loans to your bank or credit card company. Many more than just the dollar. Many of the items listed in the chart below are often shipped through overseas shipping companies and may be shipped to your destination.

The U.S. dollar is the second most traded currency and it continues to increase. One of the first reasons is the value of the yuan.
