currency speculation
Forex risk trading
Currency speculation is buying and selling foreign currencies to profit from exchange rate fluctuations.
Speculators bet on whether a currency will strengthen or weaken against another, often using leverage to amplify gains—or losses.
Unlike hedging, which protects against currency risk, speculation deliberately seeks it: Currency speculation during the Asian financial crisis made fortunes for some traders and devastated national economies.
