Currencies from all around the world are traded in the forex market. However, the specific number of currencies traded daily can vary depending on market conditions and trading activity. Generally, the most actively traded currencies are referred to as major currency pairs, and they include the US Dollar (USD), Euro (EUR), Japanese Yen (JPY), British Pound (GBP), Swiss Franc (CHF), Canadian Dollar (CAD), Australian Dollar (AUD), and New Zealand Dollar (NZD).
These major currency pairs are the most liquid and widely traded, representing a significant portion of the daily forex trading volume. In addition to the major currency pairs, there are also numerous minor currency pairs and exotic currency pairs traded in the forex market. Minor currency pairs consist of major currencies paired with currencies of smaller economies, while exotic currency pairs involve one major currency and a currency from an emerging or less frequently traded economy.
The total number of currencies actively traded on a given day can be difficult to determine precisely as it depends on the level of market activity and the specific trading pairs being considered. However, it’s safe to say that dozens of currencies are traded daily in the forex market, with the major currency pairs accounting for the majority of trading volume.
