The majors are the pairs that pair the US dollar with the euro, the yen, sterling, the Swiss franc, the Canadian, Australian and New Zealand dollars. Together they account for the large majority of global foreign-exchange turnover, which is why they carry the narrowest trading costs and the deepest liquidity of any currency pairs. Because every major shares the dollar on one side, the group often moves as a block: a broad dollar sell-off lifts EUR/USD, GBP/USD and AUD/USD together while pushing USD/JPY, USD/CAD and USD/CHF lower. The currency-strength view separates that shared dollar move from what each partner currency is doing on its own. Volatility within the group is far from uniform. The commodity-linked Australian and New Zealand dollars tend to be the liveliest, the euro and the franc the calmest, and the yen can switch between the two as risk appetite changes.
