The plan has been approved by 263 votes to 171.

Introduction to the Foreign Exchange Market

Although currency trading has a long history dating back to the middle ages, it is the changes that we have seen during the twentieth century which have created the Forex market we see today.

During the first half of the twentieth century the British pound was the world's principal trading currency and was the currency held by many as their main 'reserve' currency. As a result, London was also seen as the leading center for foreign exchange. However, the Second World War severely damaged the British economy and so the United States dollar took over as the world's principle trading and reserve currency and retains that position today. This said, there are now a number of other currencies, principally the Yen and the Euro, which are also seen as reserve currencies.

Since the Second World War there have been a number of events which have proved instrumental in shaping today's Forex market.

The Magnifying Effect of Modern Finance

In case that litany of problems isn�t enough to get the sweat beading on your forehead, ponder derivatives. While these hybrids have been around for decades, the rocket-shot rise of hedge funds and the advances in financial modeling techniques have spawned something of a competition among the so-called best and brightest to find ever-more-complex ways of skimming pennies from very large piles of money.

The collective result is that our financial system has been wired up to $370 trillion dollars of privately negotiated investment contracts. They�re usually written to shift risk from one bank, pension fund, insurance company or brokerage firm to another. And many are linked together in long chains, with each contract providing collateral for the next.
