Forex is an international over-the-counter foreign exchange market. Its name comes from the phrase "forex exchange", which means "currency exchange". About 4 trillion dollars are traded on forex daily. This is the largest foreign exchange market, where investors and traders from all over the world are gathered. There is no single regulatory center or server on Forex that generates quotes. The cost of currencies depends solely on the supply / demand of market participants, and the largest banks are the main providers of liquidity. Forex traders make money on the difference in exchange rates - they sell more expensive, buy cheaper. The main thing here is to correctly determine the market trend and open the right deal on time.

The price of many currencies depends on the prices of the raw materials. The strongest correlations with commodity prices are the New Zealand, Canadian and Australian dollars. The Japanese yen and Swiss franc also depend on commodity prices, but to a slightly lesser extent. Industrial, forestry, fuel and energy and agricultural products are traded on the commodity markets. To learn how to predict the fall or rise of a currency, it is necessary to know which commodity it correlates with and why. Unlike Forex, the activities of commodity exchanges are regulated by authorized organizations - CFTC USA, ESMA EC and the Central Bank of the Russian Federation. The most valuable commodities on the commodity market have been oil and gold for many years.

A stock index is a portfolio of stocks grouped according to some characteristic. Usually these shares represent a sector of the market or a sector of the country's economy. Almost all developing countries have financial indices. For example, one of the largest US indices is the DJIA (Dow Jones Industrial Average). It includes the shares of the thirty largest US companies, which account for about 25% of the country's entire economic market. Another well-known index is the S&P 500, which includes stocks of 500 US companies. This index occupies 70% of the US market. When buying an index, an investor diversifies his risks, since he buys not a share of one company, but a whole portfolio of shares from the largest companies. In addition, by tracking the rise / fall of prices of indices, one can judge the state of the country's economy and whether it is worth investing in it.

A security is a financial document that gives its owner certain rights to any part of the company's capital, as well as to receive profit from it. The main securities are stocks, bonds (government and corporate), bills of exchange and checks. Most investors prefer to invest in buying stocks and bonds. These securities are different from each other and bring different returns. A share is a valuable equity paper that gives its holder the right to own part of the company. Stocks can be bought and sold, earning on the difference in their value. This type of earnings is more related to long-term investments. Anyone can make money here - it all depends on how the price of the purchased share changes. Bonds are debt securities. By buying a bond of a company, you lend your money to this organization. Bonds can have a term of six months, a year or more. The essence of the earnings is that for each purchased bond, the investor will be periodically paid dividends (interest). Accordingly, the longer the term of the bond, the more you can earn on it. At the end of the established period, the company returns the entire value of the bond to the client.
