Differences between Investing vs Trading
The Swedish Krona (SEK) was introduced in 1873. It replaced the Riksdaler at par, which meant 1 Krona was worth 1 Riksdaler. The decision to introduce a new currency was prompted by the Scandinavian Monetary Union with Norway and Denmark. Each country had its own Krona and, as per the union, the value was linked to the gold standard.
However, the union ended following the outbreak of World War I. Sweden subsequently abandoned the gold standard in 1914, leaving it with no fixed exchange rate. By 2003, Sweden was faced with the prospect of using the Euro on the basis it’s part of the European Union. However, Swedish voters rejected the idea, and a loophole allowed Sweden to retain the Krona.
The Great British Pound (GBP) is the UK’s official currency and has been for more than 300 years. All GBP is issued by the Bank of England and, since 1971, decimal denominations have been used, with 1 GBP being divided into 100 pence. Like Sweden, the UK rejected the Euro in 1999 and, today, GBP is among the most traded currencies in the world. As such, Kronas to Pounds (GBP/SEK) forex pair is an active forex market.
GBP/SEK isn’t among the top 20 most-traded currency pairs. However, the Kronas to Pounds (GBP/SEK) history shows that this has been a relatively stable pair. Looking at Kronas to Pounds (GBP/SEK) price data from the Bank of England, the exchange rate in January 1975 was 9.53 SEK to 1 GBP. September 2021 saw the Kronas to Pounds (GBP/SEK) exchange rate peak at 15.5 SEK to GBP. As of September 2022, the Kronas to Pounds price was 12.4:1, which is a 30% increase from the exchange rate in 1975.
Trading and investing are different. Investing is the act of buying an underlying asset and taking ownership of it. For example, you can buy stock in a company. This gives you a direct stake in the company’s financial fortunes. You can’t do this with forex. What you can do, however, is trade currency pairs. This means you can trade GBP/SEK price movements.
You don’t technically own the underlying asset, but you are able to speculate on the GBP/SEK price increasing or decreasing. You can do this by taking long or short positions. Long positions are when you speculate on the price increasing in value. Short positions are when you speculate on the price decreasing in value. As such, when you trade Kronas to Pounds (GBP/SEK) price movements, there is a certain amount of flexibility. In forex, a market known for its volatility, this flexibility can be useful.
