The Forex market, otherwise known as the foreign exchange market, is a decentralized global market that allows for the trading of various currencies around the world. It is a highly lucrative market that is active 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The market sets the foreign exchange rate, and it is vital to exchange currencies to execute foreign trades and carry out international business transactions. 

For instance, let's say a US citizen travels to another country and wishes to make a purchase. In that case, the individual will need to buy the currency of that country using their US dollars. Similarly, in trading foreign currency, one buys one currency and sells the other, or vice versa.

The Forex market is dominated by central banks, commercial banks, institutional investors, hedge fund operators, financial investors, and individuals who all compete for a share of the market's enormous trading volume. In April 2019 alone, the market's trading volume averaged $6.6 trillion per day, making it one of the largest financial markets globally.

The primary trading center for Forex is located in the United Kingdom, particularly in London. London accounts for a staggering 43.1% of the total trading volume, making it the most critical center for foreign exchange trading worldwide. The United States accounts for 16.5%, while Singapore and Hong Kong account for 7.6% and Japan for 4.5%, respectively. These percentages represent the top ten trading centers in 2019.
