In finance, an exchange rate (also known as a foreign-exchange rate, forex rate, FX rate or Agio) between two currencies is the rate at which one currency will be exchanged for another. It is also regarded as the value of one countryâs currency in terms of another currency. For example, an interbank exchange rate of 119 Japanese yen (JPY, Â¥) to the United States dollar (US$) means that Â¥119 will be exchanged for each US$1 or that US$1 will be exchanged for each Â¥119.
Trading foreign exchange on the currency market, also called trading forex, can be a thrilling hobby and a great source of investment income. To put it into perspective, the securities market trades about $22.4 billion per day; the forex market trades about $5 trillion per day. In forex trading, you sell one currency to purchase another. 2  The exchange rate tells you how much you have to spend in quote currency to purchase base currency. 3  A long position means that you want to buy the base currency and sell the quote currency.
