EUR/USD
Equally influenced by two of the largest economies in the world, EUR/USD has become the most traded currency. It is popular for consistently having the lowest spread on the Forex market and often being less volatile than other pairs.
GBP/USD
GBP/USD is one of the oldest currency pairs to have been traded around the globe. Its volatility has increased significantly since the economic crisis in Europe and the Brexit referendum, leading up to the historically low GBP prices in 2018.
USD/JPY
Once you are at ease with trading major currency pairs, you may want to turn to the minor and exotic pairs. Minor pairs are made up of combinations of the major currencies and include pairs such as: EUR/GBP, EUR/CHF, GBP/JPY, NZD/USD and AUD/NZD. Exotic currencies are non-major currencies that are generally less liquid and traded at low volume. Exotic pairs include: EUR/TRY, USD/PLN and USD/ZAR.
