The flexibility of this market allows for a variety of operators to make use of it. Whether it is a multinational corporation buying a business in another country, an importer paying for goods purchased overseas, an investor paying for an asset he or she has purchased valued in a currency other than his or her own, or a retail trader/speculator, the forex market provides sufficient liquidity when speculating currencies.
