Currency Markets
The currency exchange market is an inter-bank or inter-dealer market that was established in 1971 when floating exchange rates began to materialize. Trading is not centralized, as is the case with many stock markets (i.e. NYSE, ASE, CME) or as the case for currency futures and currency options, which trade on special exchanges. Dealers often "advertise" exchange rates using a distribution network, then use the information "agree" to a rate and a trade.

Considering trading volume, the currency exchange market is the worlds largest market, with daily trading volumes in excess of $1.5 trillion U.S. dollars, which makes it is by far the most liquid market in the world today. ecause of the volume in trading, it is impossible for individuals or companies to affect the exchange rates and even central banks and governments find it increasingly difficult to affect the exchange rates of the most liquid currencies, such as…...

Currency Risk
When SALAM, an American company, makes its first foreign sale, a primary issue of concern is the currency exchange rate. Since SALAM is working on a very tight budget, losses can happen if the currency exchange rate changes during the three-month period between purchase and payment. Additionally, with concerns about the pound falling in the next three months, SALAM must make a decision quickly to ensure their profit margin is protected. SALAM has four possible options to avoid loss of profit. SALAM can either hedge in the forward market, hedge in the money market, hedge in the options market or choose to not hedge.

Remaining unhedged would mean that SALAM selected no further protection and simply waits for the three months to pass, accepting the exchange rate at the time of sale in three months. This option is always possible; however the company has intelligence suggesting that the pound will…...

Secondly, it could also be argued that United States and United Kingdom will not benefit in the long run due to the revaluation of the MB. This is due to the fact that the real effect of prices in the two countries will move the exchange rate to the previous equilibrium. But in the short run countries trading with china will benefit from the revaluation of MB. Other factors such as cheap labor and raw material prices also contribute to the cheap value of Chinese goods rather than only currency valuation. Even if the MB is revalued, and consequently China retaliates through tariffs on the import of goods than this would not benefit United States and United Kingdom, as tariffs would increase the prices of these goods in the Chinese markets. Another measure that the Chinese government could resort to in case of revaluation of MB is the provision of…...

strike Americans traveling or doing business in Israel is the exchange rate between the U.S. Dollar and the New Israeli Shekel. Of course, most are extremely happy when they leave the local exchange office or bank with a large wad of bills where they previously had but a few. This is because the current rate of exchange between the dollar and the shekel is 4.48 NIS per one dollar.
Unfortunately, this exchange does not necessarily mean that you can buy more in Israel. Take, for example that one wishes to purchase the latest souvenir t-shirt, say "I got stoned in Gaza." Now, of course it is normal to salivate over such a beauteous find. However, upon asking the price of this apparel gem, one's mouth may soon revert to its formerly parched state (completely normal in Middle-Eastern climes). Especially when the shopkeeper grandly announces that the item will cost you…...

As an organization, the power of money is based on authority. The value and productive power of money depends directly on the perceived strength of the issuing government and the authority conceded to it by the population. This authority has an economic aspect, its capacity to maintain fiscal discipline, to collect taxes, to prevent counterfeiting. It also has a wider political and social aspect. The value of money issued depends on the perceived strength and stability of the government, the military strength and stability of the country and its relationship with other nations, and its capacity to enforce rule of law among its citizens. Authority and trust are complementary forces. Ultimately…...

The Asian currency crisis put a heavy toll on the Asian economic paradigm sweeping across economies of Singapore, Taiwan and Korea. For instance, the implication of the regional crisis on Korea has been acute. It was compelled to approach the IMF for emergency credit and received $57 billion aid package with 7.5% of the Korean employable people without jobs by July 1998. Labor problems surfaced across the nation and the economy went limp by 5.3% during the initial half of the year. The Asian currency crisis caught everybody unaware particularly those who visualized Asia crafting for itself a new road to capitalist development. After all, the crisis put its highest impact in some of the economies which were earlier commended as part of the Asian economic miracle. This is especially true of Thailand, where the crisis struck for the first time. The then Prime Minister Chuan…...

Chinese Currency Issues
Over the last several years, the issue of China's currency revaluation has been increasingly brought to the forefront. The reason why, is because many of the developed nations (i.e. The United States and the European Union) are experiencing unusually large trade deficits, while China is seeing trade surpluses. This is important, because issues such as currency disputes can have ripple effects on the world economy. Where, the actions taken by one major player can cause various imbalances to occur elsewhere. A good example of this can be seen with recent quantitative easing measures taken by the Federal Reserve. What happened was the as the stimulus has begun to wane over the last several months, many economists have begun to question if the world would experience a second (double dip) recession. This is where the economy will move into a stage of zero growth and will then begin…...

Foreign Currency Exchange Rates
Currency is fiat money -- it's a coin or bank note that has value because the government says it does and as such becomes legal tender -- one is required to accept it to fulfill a debt. hen the issue of currency leaves domestic grounds and becomes an issue of foreign exchange, things become really complicated. If a company wants to buy goods or services from someone else in a different country, they have to figure out how to pay for those goods or services. Since all currencies were not created equal this becomes a challenge and is the foundation of the most intricate market in the world -- the Foreign Exchange, where currencies are bought and sold based on continuously fluctuating values or exchange rates.

The exchange rates of currency make the world go round. Exchange rates affect the costs of imported and exported goods and…...

Foreign currency and macroeconomic analysis on the material currency against the U.S. dollar over the 5-year period ending with 2010.
Imagine studying what is going on with currency in the world today, especially with what is going on outside and within the United States. What will one discover through this research? Has the dollar improved or become worse over the years? By learning various coinage, one is able to grasp ways in which it is affecting the world today for the positive or negative.

In 2010, "the U.S. dollar hit a multi-decade high, with three-year volatility near its highest level in more than three decades" (Fidelity, 2011, para 1). This is quite significant because of how terrible the U.S. dollar is doing in comparison to foreign currency. In fact, other countries are doing better than us. A person cannot avoid this issue because of what is happening macro economically with currency today…...

Forms of digital money have been on the rise in the past few years. Today, a broad assortment of transactions can be undertaken without using cash and conventional types of money. Cryptocurrency is the latest entrant. Since the emergence of Bitcoin in 2009, several other cryptocurrencies have been introduced, such as Ether, Litecoin, and Monero. Cryptocurrencies are digital assets intended to function as mediums of exchange. They are based on cryptography and blockchain technology. Though cryptocurrency could be the future of money, the inherent risks cannot be understated. Understanding the world of cryptocurrency is especially important given its connection to capital and money markets. For capital and money markets to function properly, mediums of exchange must be stable and reliable. This paper discusses the future of cryptocurrency. The paper specifically focuses on the implications of cryptocurrency on capital and money markets as well as the risks and concerns presented by…...

In the summer of 1995, the reversal of the chronic weakness of the dollar resulted in the depreciation of the Japanese yen, which had been approaching an acute deflationary crisis with a steep fall in the stock market. (Makin, 2000; paraphrased)

The work of Williamson (1999) entitled: "Implications of the East Asian Crisis for Debt Management" relate that a countries debt can be viewed from four different external perspectives in terms of debt composition which include: (1) FDI; (2) Portfolio Equity; (3) Long-term loans; and (4) short-term loans. This is the ideal composition of a countries debts however the debt profile of countries in East Asia are known to profoundly differ from the foregoing profile in that they had too much short-term debt…...

Nevertheless, the heavy reliance on such debt led in some cases to severe difficulties, as illustrated by the Mexican tequila crisis of late 1994 and the Brazilian crisis of 2001. In Mexico the problem happened when investors became increasingly reluctant to roll over their short-term peso-denominated cetes and instead shifted their funds to short-term dollar-indexed tesobonos. This shift to dollar-indexed liabilities supplied a temporary respite for the government but the short-term nature of outstanding securities also meant that the transformation in the structure of debt towards tesobonos was extremely quick. The rapid withdrawal of foreign investment from the domestic market at the end of 1994 and the resulting sharp drop in the Mexican peso resulted in an explosive growth in the peso value of dollar-indexed government liabilities, thereby adding a fiscal dimension to the external crisis (Jeanneau and Tovar, n.d.).
The local government bond market has expanded rapidly in Mexico…...

The money multiplier is a ratio between central bank and commercial bank money and looks at how much commercial bank money can be created with a unit of central bank money. The monetary authorities can influence the supply of money by printing more, but that leads to devaluing of the currency. It is also possible to lower interest rates and make other changes that will lead to an adjustment of the ratio, thus increasing the supply of money and helping the economy.
