Free trading refers to the unrestricted
purchase and sale of goods and services between countries without the
imposition of constraints such as tariffs, duties and quotas. Free trade is a
win-win proposition because it enables nations to focus on their core
competitive advantage, thereby maximizing economic output and fostering income
growth for their citizens. Formerly insular economies such
as China and India have expanded at much faster growth rates since they adopted free trade
principles in the 1980s and 1990s, respectively.
Free trade enables nations to
concentrate their efforts on manufacturing products or providing services where
they have a distinct comparative advantage,
according to the theory first espoused by economist David Ricardo two centuries ago. A free trade policy
should enable a nation to generate enough foreign currency to purchase the
products or services that it does not produce indigenously. The process works
best when there are few if any barriers to entry for such imports. The
imposition of artificial constraints such as tariffs on imports or
the provision of subsidies to exports will
introduce distortions and impede free trade.
Forex market is also at other times
referred to as interbank since banks trade with other electronically and the
prices of the commodities might change as from one bank to the other. Forex
trading account is just like a bank account where one can buy currencies and
hold them. It is also worth noting that these currencies are usually purchased
in pairs. That means that if one buys Euro against the US dollar, one is
holding for the US dollar to become worth less against the Euro over a period
of time. Therefore, for one make a profit in that transaction, the Euro must be
worth more over that period of time. These
brokers had to have a lot of money in order to buy the foreign currencies.
Forex broker make money by taking some of the money whenever an investor makes
profit.
