Foreign exchange, often abbreviated as forex or FX, refers to the marketplace where currencies are traded. It serves as a decentralized financial market, allowing participants, including banks, financial institutions, corporations, and individual traders, to buy and sell currencies. The primary purpose of foreign exchange is to facilitate international trade and investment by enabling the conversion of one currency into another. Participants engage in forex trading to take advantage of exchange rate fluctuations, aiming to profit from the relative strength or weakness of different currencies. Major currency pairs and prices are influenced by various factors like economic indicators, geopolitical events, and market sentiment. Central banks and governments play a crucial role in shaping currency values through monetary policies and interventions. The foreign exchange market operates 24 hours a day, five days a week, due to the nature of currency trading.

The foreign exchange market in South Korea is a dynamic financial arena influenced by a multitude of factors that collectively determine currency values. Primarily, economic indicators play a pivotal role in shaping market dynamics. For instance, interest rates, a cornerstone driver, impact currency values as central banks adjust them to control inflation and spur economic growth. Furthermore, economic data such as GDP growth, employment figures, and manufacturing indices contribute to market volatility. Political events also exert significant influence on the forex market. Elections, geopolitical tensions, and policy decisions can swiftly alter investor sentiment and subsequently impact currency valuations. Moreover, regional trade dynamics, including trade balances and tariffs, are integral components that guide market movements. In an increasingly interconnected world, news and information dissemination occur rapidly, making market sentiment susceptible to sudden shifts. Technological advancements and market innovations further drive the forex market. Electronic trading platforms, algorithmic trading, and high-frequency trading have revolutionized the speed and efficiency of currency transactions.
