Here are the 6 major currency trading pairs in the forex business, namely: the euro and the US dollar (EUR/USD), the Japanese yen and the US dollar (JPY/USD), the US dollar and the Swiss Franc (USD/CHF), the Australian dollar and the US dollar (AUD/USD), the British pound and the US dollar (GBP/USD) and the US dollar and the Canadian dollar (USD/CAD).
One of the strongest and in demand currency among the pairs is the Euro. It is widely use in twelve countries in Europe. Austria, Belgium, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and Sweden are the countries that belong to the European Union and use the Euro as their currency.

Euro is known to be famous in the forex trading and the exchange of rates in those countries is very low since they are using the same currency. Somehow the companies that have these issues found a way with the help of the intra-European exports. It is shouldering this heavy issue. On the other hand, it is an advantage to the public for they can cross countries within the European Union without exchanging their money. For quite sometime now, the European markets have been prosperous because of the euro's performance in the forex market.
