– It is the largest asset class in the world with over 5 trillion dollars being traded on a daily basis - because of this, it is also very highly liquid
– It’s a global market, representing all global economies (and not just focusing on 1 country alone)
– Open 24 hours/day, except for weekends and some holidays.
– Opens at 22:00GMT on Sunday (Sydney), until 22:00GMT on Friday (New York)
– Due to its high liquidity and huge trading volume, the price action is very consistent and not highly volatile
