Description

"Globalization has created this interlocking fragility. At no time in the history of the universe has the cancellation of a Christmas order in New York meant layoffs in China." This quote from Nassim Taleb, respected scholar, risk analyst and author of the New York Times best-seller “The Black Swan” highlights how our world economy is more integrated than ever before. At the foundation of this increasing economic globalization is the foreign exchange market, the single largest and most liquid market in the world, which reached 5.3 trillion US dollars in average daily turnover in April 2013. 

This information packed FX Market Overview course is designed to help finance and accounting professionals, as well as those interested in or exposed to the foreign currency market, scale the learning curve quickly and easily.
