Forex
With a daily turnover in excess of $6 trillion, the foreign exchange (Forex) market stands out as the biggest financial market in the world. Forex has no central location and is conducted by a network of banks and financial institutions located in major global financial centres: New York, London, Tokyo, and Sydney. The different time zones of these centres make Forex a truly 24/5 market, where money literally never sleeps. From Sunday 5 pm EST during the Sydney open, to Friday 4 pm EST during the New York close, traders can buy and sell different currencies non-stop.
Forex trading involves the simultaneous buying and selling of two currencies. For instance, when you buy the EURUSD currency pair, you are buying the euro (EUR) while simultaneously selling the US dollar (USD). At Globalfx500, we have a great selection of major, minor and exotic currencies that you can trade. You will benefit from low trading fees, practical trading resources, and excellent customer support at all times.

Stocks
Stocks are units of ownership in companies that are publicly traded. Investors buy stocks to gain exposure to the performance of their favorite companies. A stockholder can also access benefits such as special voting rights as well as dividends that are distributed periodically to shareholders. Generally, the value of a stock tends to rise when the underlying company is performing well; and the value of the stock will fall when the company is facing tough fundamentals in its business. Some of the factors that can influence the value of a stock include: earnings reports, the state of the economy, as well as overall demand and supply.

Indices
An index is simply a statistically weighted measure intended to track the overall performance of a collection of stocks. Stocks in an index are typically related by country, stock exchange, or a specific industry. For instance, the popular S&P 500 is an index that tracks the performance of the top 500 stocks listed on US exchanges. The price of an index reflects the overall performance of the individual stocks that constitute it. For instance, if an index is falling, it generally means that most stocks are losing value compared to those within the specific index. Some of the factors that influence the prices of indices include: general economic performance within a country or industry, news of companies that have a significant weight within an index, as well as changes in the composition of an index. For investors, indices have proven over the years to be less volatile than individual stocks. Their prices are also more stable and predictable because no individual constituent stock can have a huge impact on an index.

Cryptocurrencies
Cryptocurrencies have emerged as an exciting financial asset class that deserves the attention of every investor. By definition, cryptocurrencies are digital forms of money. They are probably the most successful application of the revolutionary blockchain technology. Bitcoin was the first ever cryptocurrency (launched in 2009), and its success has highlighted the immense opportunities that can be accessed in this space. For context, Bitcoin was launched with a price of less than $1 a coin, and in its history, it has already printed a peak value of around $70,000 per coin.
Cryptocurrencies were always supposed to be the future of money in a digital world. But their inherent volatility has seen them evolve as an exciting digital store of value. When they were launched, cryptocurrencies were only available for trading in crypto exchanges. This exposed investors to risks such as crypto hacks or other related cybercrimes that have seen many investors lose their coins. Investors also had the sole responsibility of securing their crypto coins in their online or offline wallets. There have been cases where investors have lost their passwords and consequently lost all access to their digital assets.
