Forex turnover today may exceed 4 trillion dollars per day. 90% of the Forex trading volumes are generated by speculators (day-traders).
The US Dollar is traditionally the most traded Forex currency in the world (85% of all Forex transactions). The Euro is the second most traded Forex currency (39% of all transactions and the Japanese Yen is the third most traded Forex currency (19% of all Forex Transactions). Each Forex transaction involves 2 pairs, so the grand total of all transactions equals 200% and not 100% as in every other financial market.
