外汇市场的特点

In recent years,foreign exchangeThe reason why the market is favored by more and more people and has become a new favorite of international investors is closely related to the characteristics of the foreign exchange market itself. The main characteristics of the foreign exchange market are:

　　（1）有市无场

　　西方工业国家的金融业基本上有两套系统，即集中买卖的中央操作和没有统一固定场所的行商网络。股票买卖是通过交易所买卖的。像纽约证券交易所、伦敦证券交易所、东京证券交易所，分别是美国、英国、日本股票主要交易的场所，集中买卖的金融商品，其报价、交易时间和交收程序都有统一的规定，并成立了同业协会，制定了同业守则。投资者则通过经纪公司买卖所需的商品，这就是"There is a market and a market"。而外汇买卖则是通过没有统一操作市场的行商网络进行的，它不像股票交易有集中统一的地点。但是，Foreign exchange transactionsThe network is global and has formed unorganized organizations. The market is connected by recognized methods and advanced information systems, and traders do not have any membership in any organization, but they must gain the trust and recognition of their peers in the industry. This foreign exchange trading market without a unified venue is called"There is a market but no market". The global foreign exchange market trades an average of trillions of dollars per day. Such a huge amount of funds were cleared and transferred without centralized venues, central clearing systems, and government supervision.

　　（2）循环作业

　　由于全球各金融中心的地理位置不同，亚洲市场、欧洲市场、美洲市场因时间差的关系，连成了一个全天24The global foreign exchange market for hourly continuous assignments. morning8时半（以纽约时间为准）纽约市场开市，9At half past midnight, the Chicago market opened,10San Francisco opened at half past hour,18Sydney opened at half past hour,19Tokyo opened at half past hour,20Hong Kong and Singapore open at half past hour, early morning2Frankfurt opened at half past hour,3The London market opened at half past hour. such24The foreign exchange market operates continuously for hours, becoming a market that operates day and night. It is only closed on Saturdays, Sundays, and major holidays in various countries. This continuous operation provides investors with an ideal investment venue without time and space barriers, allowing them to find the best time to trade. For example, if an investor buys yen in the morning in the New York market, and the yen rises after the opening of the Hong Kong market in the evening, the investor can sell in the Hong Kong market and participate in buying and selling in any market at any time, regardless of where the investor is. Therefore, the foreign exchange market can be said to be a market without time and space barriers.

　　（3）零和游戏

　　在股票市场上，某种股票或者整个股市上升或者下降，那么，某种股票的价值或者整个股票市场的股票价值也会上升或下降，例如日本新日铁的股票价格从800The Japanese yen has fallen to400The Japanese yen has reduced the value of all shares of Nippon Steel by half. However, in the foreign exchange market, the fluctuation of exchange rates represents a completely different change in value compared to the change in stock value. This is because exchange rates refer to the exchange ratio of two currencies, and exchange rate changes refer to the decrease in value of one currency and the increase in value of another currency. For example, in22Years ago,1USD exchange360Japanese yen, currently,1USD exchange100日元，这说明日元币值上升，而美元币值下降，从总的价值量来说，变来变去，不会增加价值，也不会减少价值。因此，有人形容外汇交易是"zero-sum game"More precisely, it is the transfer of wealth. In recent years, more and more funds have been invested in the foreign exchange market, and the fluctuation of exchange rates has been expanding, which has led to a larger and faster scale and speed of wealth transfer. With global foreign exchange1.5Calculated based on trillions of dollars in trading volume, rising or falling1％，就是1500Billions of funds need to be exchanged for new owners. Despite significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates, no currency will become worthless. Even if a currency continues to decline, it will always represent a certain value unless it is declared abolished.
