A Very Brief History of Forex and Commodity Trading
Forex is one of the largest and most liquid markets, with daily transaction volume valued at approximately 7.5 trillion USD. Commodity trading, the buying and selling of raw materials, is as old as human civilization and is monitored and regulated by exchanges in every country.
Asia, an emerging market, is home to two of the biggest economies, India and China, and several other rapidly developing economies in the Eastern and Southeast region. For this reason, compared to the developed markets dominated by a few countries, Asia has remained a hot favourite of investors and businesses across all industries and sectors. This is due to the enormous diversity and equally huge opportunities offered by the region in terms of economic growth.
Given the considerable risk typically connected with stocks and trading, Asians are more oriented toward real estate and precious metals for wealth accumulation than it was towards the stock market, including online trading. However, over the past ten years, Asia has seen a steady increase in the number of stock market investors thanks to the growing knowledge of international financial markets and the technological instruments at our disposal. Today, Southeast Asia has become a major financial hub.
The Ever-Growing Financial World of the Asian Economy
Many financial institutions and brokerage businesses have decided to expand their presence in Asia due to the region’s significant economic expansion, which is supported by international investments. Most of these brokers offer outstanding services to institutional and retail investors and access to various fascinating stock markets. They welcome foreign investors and charge extremely affordable commission rates. These brokers assist traders and investors in taking advantage of profitable opportunities on Asian stock exchanges.
