Foreign currency markets have always been a popular trading ground. However, towards the end of summer the picture looked oblique since volatility in exchange rates (rate of fluctuation in price) has been dropping, something that means less profits for traders. New regulations and restrictions as well as additional attention on the currency markets by regulators seems to be one of the causes for this.
