What is traded
The price of one currency against another. Buying EURUSD buys the euro against the dollar; nothing is delivered and the contract settles on the difference.
What to watch
Leverage is highest here and movement is measured in the smallest unit. Spreads widen around data releases, and a session open can leave a gap.
What moves the price
Central-bank rate decisions, inflation and employment data, and risk appetite across sessions.
