Our Story

FX Markets has been launched on the premise that the growing, global FX industry is going through a period of complex, structural change – and that we need to do more than round up the news. Now, when we cover news, it will be exclusive. If it’s not a scoop or a fresh angle, we won’t report it.

Our coverage is also more inclusive. We are writing not with banks or the buy side in mind, but a full cross-section of the market.

More of our time is therefore being spent trying to answer a different set of questions – not what is happening, but why it’s happening and how, and who stands to benefit.

Our reporters in London, New York and Hong Kong cover this important and complex market in the detail it deserves by offering you exclusive news, features, profiles, data-driven articles and advisory columns. They specialise in four key areas of coverage: trading, infrastructure, tech and data, and regulation.
