The currency has always traded currency pairs, for example, EUR / USD (euro / dollar.) All trades are the purchase of one currency into another. The first currency in the pair is called the base currency. Base currency is one that provides the basis for buying or selling. Think of the currency pair as an instrument to be bought or sold. Do you buy or euros or U.S. dollars in any case.
