Exness’s FX currency pairs are classified into “major currency pairs,” “minor currency pairs,” and “exotic currency pairs” based on trading volume and liquidity in the financial markets.

The "major currency pairs" available on Exness are the seven pairs that are traded most frequently in global financial markets and offer high liquidity. These are the most representative currency pairs, commonly referred to as "dollar straights" among FX traders.

In addition to the leverage set for your trading account being applied to major currency pairs, seven instruments—excluding the DXY—are eligible for swap-free trading.

Among Exness’s FX currency pairs, 26 pairs—including “cross-yen” pairs that are popular among domestic traders, combinations of major currencies other than the U.S. dollar, and pairs such as the Hong Kong dollar, Chinese yuan, and Thai baht—are classified as “minor currency pairs.”

The leverage set for your trading account applies to minor currency pairs.In addition, a total of 15 currency pairs are eligible for swap-free trading, including the four cross-yen pairs popular among domestic traders (AUDJPY, EURJPY, GBPJPY, and NZDJPY), as well as AUDNZD, AUDCHF, EURAUD, EURCAD, EURCHF, EURGBP, EURNZD, GBPCHF, GBPNZD, NZDCAD, and USDTHB.

Exness offers 63 currency pairs classified as "exotic currency pairs."While these pairs have low liquidity and wider spreads, they offer the potential for high volatility during market fluctuations. Many of these pairs are not available on Low Spread or Zero accounts. Additionally, trading in certain pairs—including the Turkish Lira (TRY), Hungarian Forint (HUF), Czech Koruna (CZK), and Russian Ruble (RUB)—is currently suspended for new trades.

A fixed margin requirement applies to exotic currency pairs, regardless of the leverage set for your trading account. The margin requirement for exotic currency pairs is 0.5%, resulting in an effective leverage of 200x.

Exness’s USD-denominated gold (XAUUSD) offers “swap-free” trading, meaning no swap charges apply even if you hold your position overnight, allowing you to trade under more favorable conditions than with other precious metals CFDs.

Please note that while the leverage set for your trading account applies to gold and silver, a fixed margin requirement applies to other precious metal CFDs regardless of your account’s leverage settings.
