Right now (Fall 2022), the US dollar is significantly stronger that it has been during the last few years — it appreciated against most currencies by about 15-20 percent over the period of two years. Looking at two groups of economic agents — US consumers and US producers — how does stronger currency affect any of these two groups? (other things being equal)

- 58)In early 2017, according to the Wall Street Journal President Donald Trump said: "the U.S. dollar 'is getting too strong' and he would prefer the Federal Reserve keep interest rates low." The article also quoted the president as saying: "It's very,very hard to compete when you have a strong dollar…” What did President Trump mean by a "strong dollar"? Select one: a. 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. This would mean that the value of a dollar in terms of foreign currencies is stable. d. A "strong dollar" means that other currencies can be traded for more dollars.arrow_forwardSuppose that you hold a piece of land in the city of London that you may want to sell in one year. As a U.S. resident, you are concerned with the dollar value of the land. Assume that if the British economy booms in the future, the land will be worth £2,000, and one British pound will be worth $1.50. If the British economy slows down, on the other hand, the land will be worth less, say, £1,500, but the pound will be stronger, say, $1.60 per pound. You feel that the British economy will experience a boom with a 60 percent probability and a slowdown with a 40 percent probability. Required: Estimate your exposure (b) to the exchange risk.

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. Source: Emily Feng "China's Currency Falls To Lowest Exchange Rate In 11 Years", npr.org, August 5, 2019. Refer to the Article Summary.

- When Great Britain voted to leave the eurozone, the pound depreciated 17% against the dollar. It also raised fears that the eurozone, which uses the euro as a common currency, would fall apart. Suppose that the dollar is considered safer than the euro, given these conditions. The following graph shows the market for dollars, with the quantity of dollars measured along the horizontal axis and the price of dollars in terms of euros measured along the vertical axis (in other words, the euro/dollar exchange rate).arrow_forwardUse a demand and supply diagrams of a rand in terms of dollar to illustrate the following i.

Because of the floor, currency trading has dried up – who would want to sell foreign currencies for grossly overpriced Belarusian rubles? A friend of one of my students has a web site designed to overcome rigidities in this market, a sort of Craigslist for currency. People specify amounts they are willing to buy or sell, agree to trade at some price and arrange a meeting place. When they meet, the trade nominally occurs at the official price floor, making the transaction nominally legal; but the person selling rubles makes extra payments to the buyer to lower the price sufficiently so that the trade actually takes place at the equilibrium price. This is one more way in which technology helps markets circumvent imperfections and rigidities. Q: If the Belarusian government increases…arrow_forward
- 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. Supply of Kroner Demand for Kroner Supply of Kroner Demand for Kroner QUANTITY OF KRONER The decrease in Danish incomes causes the Danish krone to relative to the euro and causes the euro to relative to the Danish krone. Suppose the price level in the euro zone rises by 12%, while the price level in Denmark remains the same. That is, the inflation rate in the euro zone is higher than in Denmark.

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.
