Although it’s hard to say which currencies are the most popular because trading volume varies continuously, some currencies appear to be sought more than others.
Here’s a quick rundown of the currencies that are most often paired, in Forex market trading…
| Symbol | Country | Currency | Nickname |
| USD | United States | Dollar | Buck |
| EUR | European Union members | Euro | Fiber |
| JPY | Japan | Yen | Yen |
| GBP | Great Britain | Pound | Cable |
| CHF | Switzerland | Franc | Swissy |
| CAD | Canada | Dollar | Loonie |
| AUD | Australia | Dollar | Aussie |
| NZD | New Zealand | Dollar | Kiwi |
As you probably know, Forex currency symbols are always 3 letters long, where the first 2 letters identify the name of the country and the 3rd letter identifies the name of that country’s currency.
