Currency exchange rates in the open market are determined by supply and demand dynamics. Factors influencing these rates include interest rates, inflation, political stability, and economic performance.
When demand for a country’s currency increases, its value rises compared to others. Conversely, a drop in demand leads to depreciation.
Exchange rates are vital for international trade and investment, as they affect import and export prices. They also influence travel costs, foreign investments, and corporate earnings. Understanding exchange rates helps businesses manage risks and make informed decisions.
