A currency pair represents the relative value of one currency against another in the foreign exchange (forex) market. It consists of two currencies: the base currency and the quote currency. The value of the pair shows how much of the quote currency is needed to purchase one unit of the base currency. Currency pairs are traded in the forex market, and their prices fluctuate based on economic factors, interest rates, and market demand. Major currency pairs include EUR/USD, GBP/USD, and USD/JPY.
In the EUR/USD currency pair, if the rate is 1.20, it means 1 Euro is equal to 1.20 U.S. dollars.
