Currency values between countries aren't controlled by any specific agency or anything, they're resultant of the economic factors in the various countries. A country can't just one day say 'hey, our currency's worth 10 times more than it was yesterday!' - it's a measure of how much money will by in the given countries versus production costs, etc. etc. - it isn't a controlled value.

The currency value of a country is estimated due to that country's gold reserves ( Who was created by US after the ending of World War II ).\n\nSorry, I cannot answer your second question since I don't know the answer.

Yes, though not any one other currency in particular.  Currency prices are the exchange rate for that currency compared to another.  Typically, though, when a currency gets stronger, it becomes more expensive compared to all other currencies.  The Dollar Index is based on a basket of currencies, so if one of those currencies in the basket rises, typically, all the others will follow in the same direction.  It is possible that some event will cause one currency to rise (Let's say if British Unemployment were lower than expected), and another to fall (Let's say riots in Europe), that the Dollar will remain unchanged, although the Euro will be cheaper, but the British Pound will be more expensive.  There are many reasons why the currencies fluctuate, but in the end it is basically an indicator of the the strength of one currency against another.

I can give you only 2.\n\n1) Geopolitical (Iran)\n2) The FOMC recently indicated they may have to continue raising interst rates in the US.\n\nthose are the only two I can say.

Major currencies prices are decided by supply and demand factors..like the dollar, euro, etc..these are free float currency..\n\nsometimes currencies are regulated by the respective governments..like the yuan..\n\nOtherwise interest rates and inflation also have a bearing on the currency prices

It depends when you change it - the rate fluctuates constantly. A good resource can be found at:\n\nhttp://www.xe.com/ucc/

Sorry I didn't see your question sooner.\nThe Mundell-Flemming Model assumes a small open economy.  Specifically, the country being studied can't affect world prices.  Open includes openess to financial flows, as well as goods and services flows.\nOne implication is that no single country can affect the interest rate.  There is world interest rate, r*.

Higher interest rates in the United States mean that the supply of US dollars is lower (because less borrowing is enabled).  As a result, it will take more euros to purchase a certain amount of dollars and thus fewer dollars to purchase a certain amount of Euros.  This means that the US dollar will become stronger in relation to the Euro (i.e. a change similar to 1.26 dollars/euro to 1.1 dollars/euro).

From Wikipedia (there is much more at the link I provided):\n\n"A market based exchange rate will change whenever the values of either of the two component currencies change. A currency will tend to become more valuable whenever demand for it is greater than the available supply. It will become less valuable whenever demand is less than available supply (this does not mean people no longer want money, it just means they prefer holding their wealth in some other form, possibly another currency)."\n\n"Increased demand for a currency is due to either an increased transaction demand for money, or an increased speculative demand for money."\n\n"A currency will tend to lose value, relative to other currencies, if the country's level of inflation is relatively higher, if the country's level of output is expected to decline, or if a country is troubled by political uncertainty."

It depends on which currency you are measuring 'profit' in.\n\nIf the price of a 'foreign' share varies in that country's currency or the exchange rate between currencies vary, the ADR price will vary to compensate with either or both. So, it won't matter.\n\nBy buying 'foreign' currency, you are subjecting the value of those funds to exchange rate variation. It could result in profit or loss, depending upon how you measure it.

Tourists comprise a very small amount of the Foreign Exchange market.  Shifts in tourist patterns have much less effect on currency prices than demand by institutional traders.  Interest rates, fiscal deficits, trade deficits, and the strength of the economy that issues the currency tend to be the factors affect currency values most (for those currencies that are allowed to float)

There are three good reasons that pop into mind.\n1. U S budget deficit\n2. balance of trade deficit\n3. war in Iraq\n\nAll of these are causing the dollar to drop. The rise in U S interest rates has prevented the drop from being more sever.

Simple economics. USD is becoming weaker because of inflation, the US government printing a lot of money, huge government debt, and about a million other reasons.
