The currency market is defined as the trading set for financial instruments with a duration of less than 12-18 months. It differs, therefore, from the capital market where instruments with higher maturities are contracted. The purpose of this market share is to manage liquidity; in fact given the short duration of the contracts and the presence of a secondary market, the investor has the possibility to invest temporary surplus funds and the entrepreneur can solve temporary needs with the possibility of demobilizing the investment in the short term.
