A hard currency is a currency that is widely accepted as a medium of exchange because of its high level of liquidity and stability. Hard currencies are often associated with developed, politically stable countries that have strong central banks. Some examples of hard currencies include the US dollar, the Japanese yen, the Swiss franc, and the euro.
Due to the stability of their issuing countries, many central banks around the world use choose to hold their reserves in hard currencies. In times of economic crises, central banks can use these currencies to intervene in their domestic currency markets to maintain stability.
Hard currencies can be traded in the forex market in a few ways – through currency pairs such as USD/JPY, or through Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs), currency options, futures, and other derivative products. Traders and investors can speculate on the price movements of these currencies.
The main benefit of trading hard currencies – especially for other hard currencies – is their liquidity and stability. These currencies are attractive to traders and investors and therefore have a steady stream of supply and demand, allowing their prices to remain relatively stable. Therefore, they can be a good option for risk-averse forex traders and investors.
Another reason hard currencies are popular in trading is because they are also used as a benchmark for other currencies. This means that exchange rates are often quoted relative to a major hard currency, allowing traders and investors to easily compare the value of different currencies and make informed decisions when participating in the forex market.

Investing in CFDs involves a high degree of risk that you will lose your money due to the use of leverage, particularly in fast moving markets, where a relatively small movement in the price can lead to a proportionately larger movement in the value of your investment. This can result in loses that exceed the funds in your account. You should consider whether you understand how CFDs work and you should seek independent advice if necessary.
