Abstract

The currency market is one of the main markets of the world's modern financial and economic systems. With respect to the availability of information, this market is the most data-rich and public. These two features allow it to be viewed as volatile. This study aims to assess the dependence of the currency market's volatility on the conditions and factors that formed during the COVID-19 pandemic. The research used statistical and correlation analysis and general scientific methods. Correlation analysis revealed an insignificant effect of the dollar index on the change in currency market volatility during the COVID-19 pandemic (r = 0.09). The outcomes indicated the impact of the disease factor on currency trading at the 0.8% level (r2 = 0.0081). The research conclusions suggest that the effects of information on the currency market differed during 2015-2019 and deviated in response to various political and economic events. The study highlights that the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath did not significantly influence the currency pairs' volatility. In the future, if crisis trends re-emerge, the findings of this study may influence the behavior of investors and participants in global trade. This could affect their investment decisions, currency reserve diversification, insurance strategies, and capital migration.
