How do exporters and importers impact forex demand?

Exporters convert foreign revenues into local currency, creating selling pressure on foreign exchange. Importers do the opposite, buying foreign currency to pay suppliers. Institutions track trade balances and flows to anticipate demand. Retail traders can use seasonal trends in trade-heavy economies (e.g., Japan’s exporters repatriating profits). Benefits: flows provide predictable demand. Risks: sudden trade disruptions or tariffs alter patterns. Exporter-importer dynamics anchor forex in real economy activity, reminding traders that beyond charts are businesses moving goods and money.
