Article Summary
In August 2019, China's central bank lowered the exchange rate for its currency, the yuan, to its lowest level in 11 years. The devaluation changed the exchange rate to more than 7 yuan per U.S. dollar, a move some analysts believe is in retaliation to U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods. According to Andrew Collier, managing director of Orient Capital Research in Hong Kong, "The drop suggests that the central bank of China is willing to weaponize the currency in light of the trade war." The move could expand a growing U.S. trade deficit with China, which reached a 5-month high in June according to the U.S. Commerce Department.

The following questions focus on the exchange rate between the euro and the Danish krone. Assume the exchange rate is flexible. The exchange rate
is defined as the number of euros you must pay for one krone.
Suppose an economic downturn in Denmark causes Danish incomes to decrease, while European incomes remain unchanged.
Shift the appropriate curve or curves on the following graph to illustrate how this affects the market for Danish kroner if all other things remain equal.

- The following question focuses on the exchange rate between U.S. dollars and Brazilian reais, defined as the number of U.S. dollars you must pay for one real. Suppose that preferences for goods made in Brazil change in the United States, causing U.S. consumers to purchase fewer goods and services made in Brazil. Drag the appropriate curve(s) on the following graph to illustrate how this change affects the market for reais. Supply of reais Demand for reais Supply of reais Demand for reais QUANTITY OF REAIS A change in preferences that causes U.S. consumers to buy fewer Brazilian-made goods and services will cause the U.S. dollar to relative to the real.

This occurs when U.S. prices in dollars are higher than prices in foreign currencies. b. A "strong dollar" is when it takes more units of a foreign currency to buy a dollar. c.

- Consider the exchange rate between Jamaica and Tunisia. Typically, exchange rates vary over time, sometimes quite dramatically. The scenarios present various changes that may affect the exchange rate. Indicate whether each scenario will tend to cause an appreciation or depreciation of, or have no effect on, the value of Jamaican dollars relative to Tunisian dinars. The magazine The Economist publishes an article indicating that analysts expect the value of Tunisian dinars to rise relative to Jamaican dollars. The central bank in Jamaica announces that it will raise interest rates on government bonds. Based on a World Bank report, the inflation rate in Jamaica will be 1% next year, whereas the inflation rate in Tunisia will be 10.5%. The price of a specific basket of goods in Jamaica is roughly 2.0 times higher than the price of an identical basket of goods in Tunisia, even after adjusting for the exchange rate.
