Briefly explain how this situation may lead speculators to believe that the government will have to devalue the country’s currency in the future. What action would the speculators likely take in anticipation of that event? Would this action make a devaluation more or less likely? Briefly explain. Note: No diagram is needed to answer this question.

Using data from The Economist's Big Mac Index for April 2002, the following table shows the local currency price of a Big Mac in several countries and the actual exchange rate. At the time, a Big Mac in the United States would have cost you 2.49 pounds. The actual exchange rate between the pound and the euro was £0.69 per British pound. The euro price of a Big Mac in the United States was, therefore, 2.49 British pounds x £0.69 per British pound = £1.71, which is less than you'd have paid in the UK. For the price you paid for a Big Mac in the UK, you could have purchased a Big Mac in the United States and had some change left over for french fries.

- Using the concept of "carry trade," explain how a decrease in U.S. interest rates could affect the EUR/USD exchange rate. Given this change in exchange rate, how would firms and customers be affected? professors note Supply and demand for currencies can be tricky, not least due to the confusing idea that what we are buying or selling is money itself! Once you can wrap your mind around the idea that money is what is being obtained for other money, the next set of questions relates to what would or could make the price of one money change in terms of another. To this effect, I'd recommend a primer from Investopedia: Six Factors That Influence Exchange Rates. For your consideration in responding to this post, I suggest reading on how the Carry Trade has the capacity to magnify systemic risk.arrow_forwardThe graph shows the demand curve for U.S. dollars.
