This is a question which requires lengthy answer, here it is not possible.\n\nStock market is the place where companies float their shares for public purchase.\n\nIndividuals from the public visualize the market condition with that of business of a company. If the general guess is for a better prospects, public price of the shairs will go up and if prospects are not good, the public price of shairs will go down.\n\nThe price of currency of a country is fixed with respect to international economic standing of that country. With changes in economic role on international level the currency value changes accordingly.\n\nTo fix price of a currency by a country involves lot of considerations. For example if one country increases its currency value with respect to other countries, cost price of exports will increase and so it will face more competition and so is the reverse. There are many such factors. This is why it is not free will to adjust value of a currency.\n\nGold is a raw material with minimum chances to depreciate. Oil is the biggest raw material now a days. These and few other raw materials directly control the international business and so they affect the value of currency.

The short answer is "no". \n\nHere's why:\n\nA currency swap is an over-the-counter security that is not standardized. The non-standard contract is basically saying Party A will pay Party B the difference between where currencies end up in the future based on a set dollar amount principal.  Since it is between two parties with no escrow, there is default risk.  No offense, but no one is going to take you on as a counter-party due to your default risk. \n\nCurrency forex contracts tend to be in the millions of dollars.  'Nuff said. \n\nIf you want to neutralize your Krona exposure (which you may not want to do if you are Icelandic and plan on returning there), then the best ways to neutralize your currency exposure is to either sell the krona for another currency (which then opens up another can of worms because now you're long another type of currency) or build a Krona liability.  You can build a krona liability by getting a loan. There is a third way... build your own "swap" by writing your own contract with someone who wants to go short on the Krona in the same amount that you want for the same amount of time period - but the chances of that are miniscule. And then you have to trust them, as well. \n\nThere is a fourth alternative.  You can use futures on index traded currencies that have the highest correlations to the IKR. I know that Norweigian, Swedish and Finnish currencies are loosely correlated with the IKR.  You will hedge away some risk, but still have some risk.  \n\nSorry.  I have no perfect answer for you.

When interest rates go up, the economy tends to slow down and consumption with it the sales would likely go down.  The opposite happens with interest rates going down.\n\nWhen a currency gains value with respect to other currencies, it's cheaper to buy goods abroad, so the sales for the local good would go down.  If the currency loses value, the opposite happens.\n\nThere might be exceptions with mandatory goods like bread or Giffen goods.

Most currencies are floating. That means it is like the stock market. If the economy is good one day, the dollar is stronger. If unemployment rises, it may get weaker. It is all about supply and demand. It is constantly changing.

Depends on the business I guess. Your second question affects the first. So I'll try to answer that first. An increase in interest rates usually drives up the value (strength) of the currency. The higher the interest rate, the more foreign money and banks themselves invest in that currency driving up its value due to supply and demand laws.\nIf they are an exporter, then that is bad news as it becomes dearer for customers abroad to buy their goods and so they lose business. For importers the opposite applies it being cheaper for customers here to buy imported goods due to the strength of the currency which buys you more(more bang foryour buck).\nRemember though that if, as most companies have to, that they have to borrow money to invest, then higher rates are obviously a disincentive. However higher rates keep down inflation which is of course is a good thing. You are right to be confused as there is no single, easy solution.Otherwise governments would just keep raising rates or freezing them. Like all markets,balance must be maintained.

The cost of a hotel, like the cost of most other assets are determined as a function of location, quality, facilities included e.g swimming pool, spa, sauna, etc, security of location, nearness of location to domestic and international airports, payment options (outright payment is always cheaper than financed payment which is also factored upon the interest rate, tenor, principal, etc).\n\nAnother principal factor is the historical precedence of the hotel; has it always been lucrative and attractive to customers e.g a typical Hilton Hotel or has it always been in comatose and this purchase will be a turn-around????\n\nFinally, if you chose to buy a hotel, ensure a good management as it is a sensitive business. It's a do or die!!!

Well I know in CHina instead of alloweing a Foreigner to use regular Chinese money the Foreigners are given Foreign exchange currency to use but if a business does not have enough of the foreign exchange currency in change then they can give regular change to the Foreign Tourist.

You weren't really specific with the question.\n\nThere are a site that talk about asset protection theory:\nhttp://www.assetprotectiontheory.com/\n\nIt deals with sheltering assets among other things.\n\nYou might also be talking about countries.  Sometimes, countries place tariffs on imports to make domestic goods more desirable.  This might lead to a better industry inside the countries and prevents foreign dumping.  There's more info here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tariff

If you are an exporter, when the dollar declines against the currency of the country to which you are exporting, you will make more on your products.\n\nIf you are an importer, when the dollar declines you will pay more for what you import, making less money.\n\nAnd vice versa.\n\nConsider hedging the risk of currency fluctuations by using currency futures.
