Using the concept of "carry trade," explain how a decrease in U.S. interest rates could affect the EUR/USD exchange rate. Given this change in exchange rate, how would firms and customers be affected?
professors note
Supply and demand for currencies can be tricky, not least due to the confusing idea that what we are buying or selling is money itself!
Once you can wrap your mind around the idea that money is what is being obtained for other money, the next set of questions relates to what would or could make the price of one money change in terms of another.
To this effect, I'd recommend a primer from Investopedia: Six Factors That Influence Exchange Rates.
For your consideration in responding to this post, I suggest reading on how the Carry Trade has the capacity to magnify systemic risk.
a. In September 1995, Patrick Buchanan, a Republican
candidate for president, proposed a 10 percent tariff on
Japanese imports to the United States, a 20 percent
tariff on Chinese imports to the United States, and an
unspecified "social" tariff on imports from developing
countries. Use the long-run model of a small open
economy to graphically illustrate the impact of these
trade policies on the U.S. exchange rate and the trade
balance. Assume that the country starts from a position
of trade balance. Be sure to label: i. the axes; ii. the
curves; iii. the initial equilibrium values; iv. the direction
the curves shift; and v. the new longrun equilibrium
values. b. Based on your graphical analysis, explain the
predicted impact of Mr. Buchanan's proposed policies.
Specifically state what happens to the exchange rate,
the trade balance, the volume of imports, and the
volume of exports. Please show the graph while
describing each piece.
Question
Draw a graph with the exchange rate (RM/$) on the Y-axis and the quantity of US
dollars on the X-axis, and explain how a large increase in the number of Malaysian workers in the United States can influence the exchange rate under a flexible exchange rate system.
