Päävaluuttaparit

Päävaluuttaparit, known in English as major currency pairs, represent the most frequently traded currency combinations in the global foreign exchange market. These pairs involve the US dollar (USD) against one of the other G7 currencies. The most prominent among these is EUR/USD, representing the exchange rate between the Euro and the US Dollar. Other significant major pairs include USD/JPY (US Dollar to Japanese Yen), GBP/USD (British Pound to US Dollar), USD/CHF (US Dollar to Swiss Franc), USD/CAD (US Dollar to Canadian Dollar), and AUD/USD (Australian Dollar to US Dollar).

The high liquidity and trading volume associated with these pairs are due to the economic strength and stability of the involved countries. Consequently, major currency pairs typically exhibit tighter spreads, meaning the difference between the buy and sell price is smaller, making them attractive to traders. Their price movements are often influenced by major economic news releases, central bank policies, and geopolitical events related to the respective economies. Understanding the dynamics of these pairs is fundamental for anyone involved in the forex market.
