Exotic pairs

Exoti… you’re probably thinking exotic countries and exotic belly dancers, but let me stop your imagination there.The label has nothing to do with the location or size of the country (or the number of belly dancers) where the currency is used.

Exotic currency pairs are made up of one major currency paired with the currency of an emerging economy, such as Brazil, Mexico, Chile or Hungary.
