currency speculators  

Definition

  • A currency speculator is an individual who trades in the foreign exchange market with the sole purpose of making a profit. For example, if the British pound is falling relative to the U.S. dollar, currency speculators will sell pounds, expecting to buy them back again sometime in the near future at a lower price.
