The Foreign Market is a large, growing and liquid financial market that operates 24 hours a day. It is not a market in the traditional sense because there is no central trading location or exchange. Most of the trading is conducted by telephone or through electronic trading networks. The primary market for currencies is the Interbank Market where banks,insurance companies, large corporations and other large financial institutions manage the risks associated with fluctuations in currency rates.
