外国為替は、通貨の交換ですので、個人投資家のみならず、金融機関、一般企業、機関投資家も参加しているとても大きな市場です。テレビのニュースでも「今日の東京外国為替市場の円相場は...」とよく耳にしますが、いったいどのような市場なのでしょうか。
日本の金融中心地、兜町にあるの？それとも日本政府が運営しているとか？
実は、東京外国為替市場というのは、どこかにある訳ではありません。銀行と銀行をつなぐネットワークを指しており、概念の市場です。この銀行同士が相対で取引するネットワークのことを「インターバンク市場」と呼び、狭義の外国為替市場です。 他方で、私たち個人の投資家や一般企業、機関投資家は、銀行やFX会社に注文を出して、引き受けた会社は先のインターバンク市場で外貨を調達します。こうした市場を対顧客市場と呼ぶこともあります。 インターバンク市場と対顧客市場はちょうど卸売りと小売りの関係といってよいでしょう。海外では、私たち個人投資家が参加するFXを「retail FX（小売りFX）」と呼ぶことがあります。 | Translation - English
Since foreign exchange market is for exchange of currency, it is tremendously large market where not only individual investors but also financial institutions, corporations and institutional investors participate. We often hear on the news on TV, "Japanese Yen exchange rate at today's Tokyo Foreign Exchange Market is... ." What kind of market exactly is it?
Is it located in the center of Japan's financial district, Kabuto-cho? Or is it administered by Japanese government?
The truth is that Tokyo Foreign Exchange Market is not physically located at any particular place. It is a conceptual market, and a network that connects bank to bank. This network where banks cross trade is called "Inter-bank market," which is the foreign exchange market in the narrow sense. On the other hand, individual investors, corporations, and institutional investors send buy or sell orders to banks and foreign exchange (FX) firms, who in turn buy or sell foreign currency at the aforementioned Inter-bank market. This market is sometimes called "Customer market." Therefore, Inter-bank market and Customers market serve just like a wholesaler and a retailer. Outside of Japan, the FX transactions where individual investors participate can also be called as “Retail FX.”

More Less | | Years of translation experience: 1. Registered at ProZ.com: Feb 2011. | | N/A | | N/A | | N/A | | Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint | | About me I have worked in a small branch of an international banking institution for 18+ years and experienced in deposits, domestic/foreign remittances, foreign exchanges, cash management, corporate finance, financial analysis, and compliance, as well as general office administration. While at work, Japanese-English translations were daily events, and I produced information materials for customers and credit write-up in both languages.
My personal interests extend from arts and entertainment to investments, and child development issues to political issues.
Translation to me is an art of understanding and delivering of the message, that can be perfected with effective use of resources and time management.
