‘An Exchange rate is a rate at
which one currency will be
exchanged for another currency
and affects trade and the
movement of money between
countries.
Most Exchange Rates are defined
as floating and will rise or fall
based on the supply and demand in
the market.HOW EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATE
Exchange rates can be free-floating or fixed. A free-floating exchange rate
rises and falls due to changes in the foreign exchange market.
A fixed exchange rate is pegged to the value of another currency. The Hong
Kong dollar is pegged to the U.S. dollar in a range of 7.75 to 7.85. This
means the value of the Hong Kong dollar to the U.S, dollar will remain
within this range.
Exchange rates have what is called a spat rate, or cash value, which is the
current market value. Alternatively, an exchange rate may have
a forward value, which is based on expectations for the currency to rise or
fall versus its spot price.
Forward rate values may fluctuate due to changes in expectations for
future interest rates in one country versus another.| EXAMPLE FOR EXCHANGE RATE :-
