In the foreign exchange markets, leverage remains a critical tool that allows traders to control large positions with minimal capital through margin accounts. While leverage can amplify profits, it also significantly increases the risk of substantial losses. Regulatory bodies like the European Securities and Markets Authority impose specific caps on leverage ratios for various assets, such as major currency pairs and cryptocurrencies, to manage investor risk.
