How Exchange Rates Work

Foreign exchange (forex) is the largest financial market in the world, with daily trading volume exceeding $7.5 trillion as of 2022. Exchange rates are determined by supply and demand in this market, influenced by factors including interest rate differentials between countries, inflation rates, trade balances, political stability, and central bank interventions. A 'floating' exchange rate fluctuates freely based on market forces, while a 'pegged' rate is fixed by a government to another currency (like the Hong Kong dollar's peg to the US dollar).

The spread between the 'bid' (buy) and 'ask' (sell) price is how currency dealers profit. Banks and airports typically offer spreads of 2-5%, while online services and interbank rates have much tighter spreads. When converting currencies, the mid-market rate (the midpoint between bid and ask) is considered the 'real' exchange rate. Services like Wise (formerly TransferWise) gained popularity by offering rates close to the mid-market rate, significantly undercutting traditional bank transfer fees.
