The end of December marks the end of the year 2022 and it has turned out a great year for GemForex; and most definitely an exciting one for Gems Traders.

We saw the price of USDJPY reaching decade highs of 151.800; EUR going to and below parity with the Dollar, WTI OIL reaching $127 per barrel, up from the previous year's all-time lows, NASDAQ and tech stocks falling by 33%, and GOLD with a wide range of moves all the way from its year highs of $2,070 at the beginning of the year, all the way to $1,615 per ounce.
