It is the task of international financial markets to provide trade and perform all other economic activities among different countries, so we live in a world where all major economic functions- consumption, production and investment are highly globalized. Looking back in time, the financial market has existed since mankind began growing crops and exchanging them with others, but today we live in a period where with the advent of the internet, new markets are emerging every day. International markets for foreign currencies, money, loans, bonds and stocks have developed due to the increase in international business. Gains, losses, risks, assumptions and instabilities are constant in such markets, so it is very important to know the appropriate specifics and relationships between variables in order to establish their direction. The primary goal of this paper is to analyze the characteristics of international financial markets with its basic functions and participants, to investigate the degree of their volatility, to establish their mutual relations, and ultimately to compare them. The only thing that is safe in international financial markets is that they are unsafe. Some more, some less. By applying different methods of analyzing, predicting and obtaining information, one can keep up with the constant changes that prevail in this broad market and minimize the possibility of a wrong move, which could be fatal for the global economy, which is just one reason to have veneration for its laws.
