FOREX • What is Forex?
Basically, the Forex market is where banks, businesses, governments, investors and traders come to exchange and speculate on currencies. The Forex market is also referred to as the ‘Fx market’, ‘Currency market’, ‘Foreign exchange currency market’ or ‘Foreign currency market’, and it is the largest and most liquid market in the world with an average daily turnover of $3.98 trillion.The Fx market is open 24 hours a day, 5 days a week with the most important world trading centers being located in London, New York, Tokyo, Zurich, Frankfurt, Hong Kong, Singapore, Paris, and Sydney.
It should be noted that there is no central marketplace for the Forex market; trading is instead said to be conducted ‘over the counter’; it’s not like stocks where there is a central marketplace with all orders processed like the NYSE. Forex is a product quoted by all the major banks, and not all banks will have the exact same price. Now, the broker platforms take all theses feeds from the different banks and the quotes we see from our broker are an approximate average of them. It’s the broker who is effectively transacting the trade and taking the other side of it…they ‘make the market’ for you. When you buy a currency pair…your broker is selling it to you, not ‘another trader’.
Armed with nothing more than a sharp boning knife, and some patience, pretty much anyone can make this visually impressive, “chicken little.” At least that’s what I’m calling it, for lack of a better name. In the business, this is sometimes referred to as an individual chicken ballotine, which really doesn’t have much of a ring to it.
I was thinking of going with “pear chicken,” but then I’d
have to deal with all those “where’s the pear?” comments. Anyway, regardless of
the name, this is a real showstopper, and easily adaptable when it comes to
seasonings, and glazes. I did the simplest pan sauce possible, by deglazing the
drippings with a splash of chicken stock, but you could use wine, and/or
demiglace, to fancy it up even more.
Since
there is a bit of production involved, I do suggest
making these ahead, and keeping them in the fridge until you’re ready to
serve.
Not only will they roast to an even more beautiful golden brown, but
your
flavored butter ingredients inside will have time to permeate the meat.
So,
whether you’re making these to impress guests at a dinner party, or just
improve your knife skills, or both, I really hope you give them a try
soon.
Enjoy!
