This second presentation builds on the foundations from our FX overview and takes a closer look at how the market actually operates day to day. It’s designed to give participants a clearer understanding of the conventions, behaviours, and commercial dynamics that shape real-world FX activity.
In this session, we’ll explore:
The evolution of the FX market, and how historical developments influence today’s trading environment
FX quotations and pricing, including how currency pairs are quoted, what drives bid/offer spreads, and how prices are formed
The value of a customer’s business to their FX banks, and why understanding this relationship can directly improve pricing, service, and strategic outcomes
This presentation is the next step in the series, aimed at helping people move from foundational knowledge to practical insight into how the FX market truly functions.
