How does the FED stabilize economies?
The document discusses how central banks like the Federal Reserve use monetary policy to influence economic activity. It explains the different components of the money supply that the Fed can target, such as M1, M2, and M3. The Fed conducts open market operations, buying and selling Treasury bonds, to expand or contract the money supply and influence interest rates. Expanding the money supply through tools like lower interest rates aims to increase aggregate demand and economic growth. Contracting the money supply through higher rates aims to decrease demand and control inflation.

IBUS2301 - Tutorial #7 - Chapters 10 and 11 - Foreign Exchange (FX) Market
This tutorial covers two central aspects of foreign exchange (FX) markets. First, we discuss exchange rate regimes and the potential pros and cons (and dangers) of adopting each regime. Special attention is given to the difficulties in pegging a country's currency. Second, we discuss various exchange rate theories, here giving particular attention to the role that prices, money supply, and inflation have in exchange rate expectations. The case of China's currency predicament is presented, where the country has recently experienced massive monetary growth, and hence domestic inflation, but also a strengthening currency, largely due to pressure from the U.S. government. We conclude with a look into a likely future scenario that sees a gradual depreciation of the Yuan.

No Interest In Bonds
Bonds have been around ever since folks could utter, "Hey, can you lend me a buck?" But with interest rates at historic lows, investors should consider the probability of earning a positive return before buying their next bond investment. Low interest rates mean there is little cushion for declining bond prices when interest rates do rise. A look at the dynamics at play and what an investor should consider when investing in bonds.
India rupee slips on trade deficit equity woes
The Indian rupee was trading lower against the dollar in early session, underperforming other regional currencies, after India’s trade deficit widened on a sequential basis to more-than-expected levels. In addition to worries on the oil front, rupee has to contend with the consistent weakness in domestic equities. Indian equities today are once again underperforming and I think this trend may continue on account of rising political risk premiums.

Dollar Watch - June
The US dollar appreciated against most major currencies in May, with a few exceptions. Key highlights include the Russian ruble losing nearly 15% against the dollar due to falling oil prices and investment outflows. The Indian rupee also weakened over 5% versus the dollar amid a risk-averse global environment and high deficits. In contrast, the Japanese yen was the only major currency to gain versus the dollar in May as it is seen as a relatively safer currency. The document provides exchange rate data and forecasts for various currencies against the US dollar.
Is it the right time to introduce new global reserve currency
The document discusses potential replacements for the US dollar as the global reserve currency. It analyzes the euro, Chinese yuan, Japanese yen, and Special Drawing Rights (SDR) as options. However, it concludes that no single currency is currently suitable and able to replace the dollar due to issues like weak economies in Europe, China's capital controls, and the SDR's composition and allocation methods. A transition to a new stable global reserve currency would require considerable time and changes in other nations' economic policies and financial systems.
My interest in value depreciation and appreciation
Austin is interested in how and why currencies appreciate and depreciate. The document discusses different exchange rate regimes, including floating exchange rates where a currency's value is determined by foreign exchange markets. It provides examples of factors that can cause a currency to appreciate, such as strong exports or pressure from other countries to increase its value. The document also examines why currencies may depreciate, such as if a central bank encourages a lower value to gain economic advantages, and the impacts of appreciation and depreciation on individuals and businesses.
MY FOREIGN EXCHANGE REVISION KIT
This document provides an overview of IAS 21, which addresses foreign exchange rates. It discusses two main issues: 1) which exchange rate to use, and 2) how to report exchange differences in financial statements. These issues arise for foreign transactions, such as purchases in foreign currency, and foreign operations, such as subsidiaries. For foreign transactions, the transaction rate is used initially and the closing rate for subsequent measurement, with differences reported in profit or loss. For foreign operations, an operation can be dependent or independent, determining whether historic, average or closing rates are used, and whether differences are reported in profit or loss or other comprehensive income.
Money
This document provides an overview of money, including its definition, evolution, characteristics, types, functions, demand and supply. It defines money as anything widely used and accepted in transactions. Money has evolved from commodity money backed by precious metals to modern fiat currency not backed by any commodity. Key characteristics include durability, divisibility, transportability and limited supply. The main types discussed are commodity, fiat and bank money. Functions of money include serving as a unit of value, medium of exchange, store of value and standard for deferred payments. Demand is influenced by transactions, precautionary and speculative motives, while supply includes currency and bank deposits measured by indicators like M1, M2 and M3.

FX speaks about the foreign exchange of money in a wide marketplace around the world with an electronic mode anytime, anywhere.
The Nature and Creation of Money
The document discusses the nature and creation of money. It explains that money serves three main functions: as a medium of exchange, a unit of account, and a store of value. It also describes how commercial banks create money by lending out deposits and only keeping a fraction in reserves, allowing more money to be created than the initial deposits. The money supply is managed and controlled by the U.S. Federal Reserve system, which aims to expand or contract the money supply to influence economic growth and inflation.
MaC BGIE4 central bank azcona
The document discusses central banks and monetary policy tools. It explains that central banks can control the money supply by changing the monetary base through open market operations, foreign exchange interventions, and discount loans. It also notes they can impact the money supply by adjusting the required reserve ratio set for banks. The document provides examples of how central banks can expand the monetary base and money supply by purchasing assets from banks, like bonds, in exchange for reserves. This process allows them to effectively create more money in the banking system.
MFTCorporate Finance
MFT provides warehousing, distribution, and freight services internationally. It was founded in New Zealand and has expanded to over 20 countries. Over the last 5 years, MFT has increasingly financed its operations through debt while maintaining a weighted average cost of capital of 6.28%. MFT has experienced overall growth in profits, sales, retained earnings, and dividends paid, though profit growth slowed to -8.1% in 2015.
Money creation
The document discusses how banks can create money through the process of making loans. When a bank receives a deposit, it is required to keep a certain percentage, like 20%, as reserves, but can lend out the rest. When those loans are deposited in other banks, they become part of the money supply. This process of successive lending and depositing allows banks to multiply the original deposit. For example, with a 20% reserve requirement, $100,000 in deposits could create $500,000 in the total money supply.
Effective exchange rate and arbitrage
This document discusses arbitrage, nominal effective exchange rates (NEER), and real effective exchange rates (REER). It provides the following key points:
1) Arbitrage involves buying the same asset in different markets simultaneously to profit from price discrepancies. Triangular arbitrage exploits exchange rate discrepancies across currency pairs.
2) NEER is a weighted average exchange rate that indicates a country's international competitiveness. It incorporates exchange rates against a basket of currencies weighted by trade volumes.
3) REER adjusts the NEER for inflation differences between countries to reflect exchange rate changes in real terms. When exchange rates are fixed, there is no difference between NEER and REER since other economic factors
Gold, inflation and dollars
The document discusses the relationship between gold and the US dollar. It notes that gold and the dollar are considered stable global currencies, with gold serving as a hedge when banks worry about dollar weakness. The relationship is described as inverse - when the dollar falls in value, gold increases, and vice versa. This inverse relationship is seen as strategic over the long run, though gold and dollar prices may rise or fall together in the short term. The document also discusses gold as a hedge against inflation, and how monetary policy that impacts the money supply and interest rates can influence the value of currencies and gold.
Nicholas M Theodore Economic Analysis
This document provides an overview of various stock market indices, interest rates, exchange rates, and commodities prices from 2016 back to 2006. It shows that most indices saw negative returns over the past year, with concerns over China's economy being a major factor. Interest rates remain low by historical standards. The US dollar has strengthened against other major currencies in recent years, while oil prices have fallen sharply but gold prices have risen.

Econ315 Money and Banking: Learning Unit 15: Foreign Exchange Market
Foreign exchange rates are determined by the demand and supply of currencies in foreign exchange markets. In the long run, factors like productivity, trade barriers, consumer preferences, and inflation affect exchange rates by influencing trade flows and demand for currencies. In the short run, interest rates are a main determinant as they influence demand for financial assets and currencies. When domestic interest rates fall, demand for the domestic currency falls and it depreciates against other currencies.

The foreign exchange market or forex market as it is often called is the market in which currencies are traded.
Currency Trading is the world’s largest market consisting of almost trillion in daily volumes
The market continues to rapidly grow. Not only is the forex market the largest market in the world, but it is also the most liquid, differentiating it from the other markets.
There is no central marketplace for the exchange of currency, but instead the trading is conducted over-the-counter.
This decentralization of the market allows traders to choose from a number of different dealers to make trades with and allows for comparison of prices. Typically, the larger a dealer is the better access they have to pricing at the largest banks in the world, and are able to pass that on to their clients.
The spot currency market is open twenty-four hours a day, five days a week, with currencies being traded around the world in all of the major financial centers.
All trades that take place in the foreign exchange market involve the buying of one currency and the selling of another currency simultaneously. This is because the value of one currency is determined by its comparison to another currency.
The first currency of a currency pair is called the “base currency,” while the second currency is called the counter currency. The currency pair shows how much of the counter currency is needed to purchase one unit of the base currency.
Currency pairs can be thought of as a single unit that can be bought or sold. When purchasing a currency pair, the base currency is being bought, while the counter currency is being sold.
