FAQs
Q.

A.
"While trade is international, currencies are national. As international transactions are settled in global currencies, usually they are brought/sold for one another and this constitutes 'currency trading'."
Q.
What are the factors that affect the exchange rate of a currency?
A.
"A country’s currency exchange rate is typically affected by the supply and demand for the country’s currency in the international foreign exchange market. The demand and supply dynamics is principally influenced by factors like interest rates, inflation, trade balance and economic & political scenarios in the country. The level of confidence in the economy of a particular country also influences the currency of that country."
Q.
How and why does the demand and supply of a currency increase and decrease?
A.
There are several reasons. A rise in export earnings of a country increases foreign exchange supply. A rise in imports increases demand. These are the objective reasons, but there are many subjective reasons too. Some of the subjective reasons are: directional viewpoints of market participants, expectations of national economic performance, confidence in a country’s economy and so on.
Q.
What is a currency futures contract?
A.
"A currency futures contract is a standardized version of a forward contract that is traded on a regulated exchange. It is an agreement to buy or sell a specified quantity of an underlying currency on a specified date in future at a specified rate (e.g., USD 1 = INR 46.00). (Note: USD is abbreviation for the US Dollar, and INR for the Indian Rupee)."
