"The Federal Reserve System plays a massive role in not only the economy of the united states but alos in the global economy. The US dollar is one of the most popular and well recognized forms of currency all around the world, making it the basis for many financial transactions and trades. This popularity and standardization in regards to the dollar makes it one of if not the most important currency in the world, whose value has implications on nearly every aspect of trade, consumers, and even other countries wellbeing. Because of this, the fed, who has the ability to influence the value of the dollar and the economy, is likely the most important financial institution of the world, because of it's ability to severely impact both positively and negatively the united states economy and the world economy.

Article Summary
In August 2019, China's central bank lowered the exchange rate for its currency, the yuan, to its lowest level in 11 years. The devaluation changed the exchange rate to more than 7 yuan per U.S. dollar, a move some analysts believe is in retaliation to U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods. According to Andrew Collier, managing director of Orient Capital Research in Hong Kong, "The drop suggests that the central bank of China is willing to weaponize the currency in light of the trade war." The move could expand a growing U.S. trade deficit with China, which reached a 5-month high in June according to the U.S. Commerce Department.

- Suppose that you hold a piece of land in the city of London that you may want to sell in one year. As a U.S. resident, you are concerned with the dollar value of the land. Assume that if the British economy booms in the future, the land will be worth £2,000, and one British pound will be worth $1.50. If the British economy slows down, on the other hand, the land will be worth less, say, £1,500, but the pound will be stronger, say, $1.60 per pound. You feel that the British economy will experience a boom with a 60 percent probability and a slowdown with a 40 percent probability. Required: Estimate your exposure (b) to the exchange risk.

- In Belarus, the government doesn’t allow trading of its ruble outside a narrow price range, which greatly overvalues the ruble – there is a price floor on the ruble compared to euros or dollars. Because of the floor, currency trading has dried up – who would want to sell foreign currencies for grossly overpriced Belarusian rubles? A friend of one of my students has a web site designed to overcome rigidities in this market, a sort of Craigslist for currency. People specify amounts they are willing to buy or sell, agree to trade at some price and arrange a meeting place. When they meet, the trade nominally occurs at the official price floor, making the transaction nominally legal; but the person selling rubles makes extra payments to the buyer to lower the price sufficiently so that the trade actually takes place at the equilibrium price. This is one more way in which technology helps markets circumvent imperfections and rigidities.
