Market Growth Factors
The France foreign exchange market is further strengthened by France’s large export and import activity with the Eurozone and elsewhere; France has large exports and imports of goods such as aerospace, energy, luxury goods, etc. There is also inflow of new capital through Foreign Direct Investments (FDI), portfolio management and sovereign bond markets. The ECB creates liquidity in euros through monetary policy actions such as setting interest rates, engaging in quantitative easing, and establishing inflation targets, affecting capital flows and demand for euros.
France is a meaningful exporter and must therefore frequently convert currencies for trade contracts, supplier invoices, and repatriation of profits. Changes in currency value affect pricing for exports and imports of goods and services between France’s major partners: the United States, China, United Kingdom and Switzerland. In times of volatility in the currency market, large corporate entities as well as small and medium enterprises hedge their positions through financial instruments such as forward contracts, swaps and options. Global commodity price fluctuations, especially for oil and natural gas imports, seasonality of tourism, and inward remittance also influence foreign exchange.
The rise of electronic and automated trading, driven by financial technology and government transparency regulation, has led institutional traders to increasingly rely on algorithmic execution tools and application programming interface (API) trading platforms to commit trades, process orders, price, and settle fast. As a result of electronic multi-dealer platforms, single-bank portals and machine learning, there has been increased accessibility for corporate and asset managers, alongside heavy investments into FX trading infrastructure, and an increased focus on machine learning applications for risk management amid tighter regulations (such as MiFID II), resulting in greater resilience and responsiveness to macroeconomic and geopolitical forces.
