1. Individual Problems 11-1
Suppose that the euro is trading at $1.85 per euro in the foreign exchange market. Next, suppose that the exchange rate falls to $1.11 per euro, due to falling interest rates in the eurozone.
The following graph shows the supply and demand curves for euros in the foreign exchange market.
On the following graph, shift either the supply curve for euros or the demand curve for euros to reflect the influence of “carry trade” (in isolation from other factors that may affect the exchange rate) on the exchange rate for euros. (Hint: Carefully consider which price is measured on the vertical axis and which currency is being measured on the horizontal axis.)
Suppose that yesterday, the U.S. dollar was trading on the foreign exchange market at 0.75 eurosper U.S. dollar and today the U.S. dollar is trading at 0.80 euros per U.S. dollar. Which of the twocurrencies (the U.S. dollar or the euro) has appreciated and which has depreciated today?b) Suppose that the exchange rate for the Mexican peso fell from 15 pesos per U.S. dollar to 10 pesosper U.S. dollar. What is the effect of this change on the quantity of U.S. dollars that people plan tobuy in the foreign exchange market?c) Suppose that the exchange rate rose from 80 yen per U.S. dollar to 90 yen per U.S. dollar. What isthe effect of this change on the quantity of U.S. dollars that people plan to sell in the foreignexchange market?
