Major and Minor Currency Pairs (The Core of Forex Trading)

Currencies are always traded in pairs, because in Forex, you’re
buying one currency and selling another at the same time.

For example, when you buy EUR/USD, you’re buying the Euro

and selling the US Dollar. Each pair tells a story about the relative
strength of two economies. The base currency is always the first

currency in a forex pair, while the quote currency is the second

currency like in EUR/USD the Euro is Base currency and the
Dollar is the quote currency.When one rises, the other usually

falls-it’s a constant battle between nations, central banks, and

global money flow.

1. Major Currency Pairs

The major pairs are the most traded currency combinations in the

world. They all include the U.S. Dollar (USD), because it is the
world’s reserve currency-used for global trade, oil, gold, and

almost all international settlements.

These pairs are known for their high liquidity, low spreads, and

strong market movement, which makes them ideal for beginners

and professionals alike.
