FOREX IN DETAIL
EUR/JPY CURRENCY PAIR INFORMATION
The Euro has proven to be a remarkably stable currency since its launch in November 1999. It is the currency for over 350 million people and has a higher circulated cash value than the Dollar. The Japanese economy has seen outstanding growth over the last 5 decades, which peaked in 1989 and later suffered a catastrophic crash when the Nikkei stock index lost 75% of its value. The Japanese economy has since recovered and the Yen is now one of the most commonly held reserve currencies in the world. The EUR/JPY currency pair is affected by the interest rates between the ECB and the BoJ as well as the strength and weaknesses of other currencies.

SPREAD BETTING ON THE FOREX MARKETS
Spread betting on FOREX currency pairs has been gaining more and more popularity amongst online traders. It offers a lot of flexibility and is thus a preferred way of trading for many people.
Instead of opening a position for a certain transaction value, you choose a stake which represents the value for each pip by which the price moves. You also choose a stop-loss, by which you set how much you are willing to lose. This is your margin deposit. As with futures and spot trading, you can also benefit from falling markets by going short or long. Your profit or loss is equal to your stake multiplied by the number of points by which the price has moved.
