These meetings are highly significant for traders and investors worldwide, as they offer unique opportunities to capitalize on swift market movements and uncover profitable positions.

Before World War II, the British pound sterling was the most powerful currency of the world, due to the large number of colonies and dominions of the British Empire around the globe. Then, the US dollar has become the world's dominant reserve currency, with over 60% of global foreign exchange reserves held in dollars. The dollar's supremacy has been a defining feature of the global economy since the end of World War II. However, the dollar's ascent to its position as the world's reserve currency was not preordained.
