Why Exchange Rates Fluctuate
There are many different things that can influence and cause exchange rates to fluctuate on a daily basis:
- Inflation: As all countries have different inflation rates, countries with lower inflation rates will appreciate in currency value because its lower inflation rate in the economy increases purchasing power for foreign capital.
- Interest Rates: If a country offers a higher interest rate, foreign capital will flow into that country, resulting in an appreciation in currency value.
- Economic Indicators: Good economic performance will increase investor perceptions about the economic environment which affects exchange rates and impacts the currency value.
- Political Stability: A stable political status is conducive to strengthening a currency.
- Speculation: Perceptions about economic performance may also result in speculation that cause perhaps short-lived fluctuations in currency value.
