The Euro (EUR)
The Euro was introduced in 1999 and today the Euro is the closest challenger to the US dollar of becoming the world’s top reserve currency. It has not happened yet even though the currency serves more than 300 million people in Europe including quite a few booming economic countries. The European Central Bank (ECB) is the financial authority governing the Euro.
The US Dollar (USD)
The US dollar is both the world's most traded currency and also the top reserve currency in the world. Most commodities, like gold, are almost exclusively traded in the US dollar. The Federal Reserve is the financial authority governing the US dollar.
The Australian Dollar (AUD)
The Australian Dollar is a commodity currency with a unique exposure to the Asian markets. For that reason, it is a popular vehicle for Fx traders interested in diversification. Introduced in 1966, the AUD has been taken off the GBP peg in 1971. The financial authority controlling the AUD is the RBA (Reserve Bank of Australia). The Australian economy is based on the export of commodities, hence the “commodity currency” designation of the AUD.
The New Zealand Dollar (NZD)
The New Zealand dollar is a small currency, used besides New Zealand proper in Tokelau, Niue, the Cook Islands, the Pitcairn Islands and the Ross Dependency. Introduced in 1967, replacing the New Zealand Pound, the Kiwi Dollar was originally pegged to the USD. It became a floating currency in 1985. It is currently one of the 10 most traded currencies in the world, accounting for some 2% of the daily global forex turn over. Being a small currency, the value of the NZD is heavily influenced by the international interest rates.
