Foreign currency – a volatile market?Although the foreign currencies you’re currently dealing in may be fairly stable, there’s always a risk of volatility in the market.
One of the reasons that so many individuals and businesses use the expertise of a foreign currency broker is because they know that this is a market that is subject to change – and quick change too. When you have a business to run or a busy personal life to lead, you can't spend your time looking at the foreign exchange markets, wondering what's going to happen next and how you can deal with it. The word "volatility" often suggests trouble; in the context of the foreign currency market, it simply means sudden, if small, changes.
Dealing with foreign exchange volatility
A currency can be subject to change for many reasons. Both internal and external factors can make a difference to the currency's value against foreign currencies, and these factors can change all the time. An economic report on high levels of unemployment released on one day can affect the currency, as can interest rate cuts in another country on another. It's keeping track of all these variables that's the key skill when it comes to dealing with foreign currencies – and it is these variables that can make the currency market seem to be so volatile. Remember that, when you're dealing with large sums of money such as a property purchase, or buying supplies for your business, even a small change in the value of currency can cost you money – so you don't just need to protect yourself from the big swings in currency value, but the small movements too.
