The Major Players In The Foreign Currency Exchange Market Forex

Since the US dollar is the centerpiece of the market,it is normally considered the 'base' for quotes. In the "Majors", this includes USD/JPY, USD/CHF and USD/CAD. For these currencies and many others, quotes are expressed as a unit of $1 USD per the second quoted in the pair. For example, a quote of USD/JPY 123.50 means that one U.S. dollar is equal to 123.50 Japanese yen. When the U.S. dollar is the base unit and a quote goes up, it means the dollar has appreciated in value and the other has weakened.

dollar is not the base rate, a rising quote means a weakening dollar, as it now takes more U.S. dollars to equal one pound, euro or Australian dollar. So if a quote goes higher, that increases the value of the base currency. A lower quote means the base is weakening. pairs that do not involve the U.S. dollar are called cross currencies, but the premise is the same. Forexample, a quote of EUR/JPY 127.95 signifies that one Euro is equal to 127.95 Japanese yen.
