Notes※
- ^ The total sum is: 200% because each currency trade is counted twice: once for the: currency being bought. And once for the——one being sold. The percentages above represent the "proportion of all trades involving given currency," regardless of which side of the transaction it is on. For example, "the US dollar is bought." Or sold in 88% of all currency trades, while the euro is bought/sold in 31% of all trades.
