However, the modern foreign exchange market as we know it today emerged in the 1970s with the end of the Bretton Woods Agreement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Before 1971, the value of most currencies was fixed to the price of gold, with the US dollar serving as the world&#8217;s reserve currency. The Bretton Woods Agreement, signed in 1944, established this system, but it became unsustainable as the US accumulated large trade deficits and inflation soared. In 1971, President Nixon ended the convertibility of the US dollar into gold, and the world&#8217;s currencies became free-floating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After this change, currency trading began to be conducted more actively by banks and multinational corporations to manage their foreign exchange risk. The creation of the Euro in 1999 further increased the trading volumes of the foreign exchange market, as the new currency became one of the most widely traded currencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, advances in technology have made foreign exchange trading accessible to a wider range of participants, including retail traders who can now trade currencies from their homes using online trading platforms. The forex market is now the largest financial market in the world, with an average daily turnover of over $6 trillion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"has-text-align-center has-content-secondary-color has-content-primary-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-block-heading\"><strong>Practice Questions<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1.
