What will happen if the US dollar is strong and peso is weaken?
Financials institutions now see the peso ending weaker against the strong dollar. The paradigm shift was bought by an improving United State economy, which made US assets more attractive to investors, particularly after Federal Reserve may hinted at trimming its bond-buying stimulus as the economy further improves. A depreciation trend may not be avoided on strongest dollar sentiment because a positive on it is that a weaker peso is advantage to local industries and families overseas Filipino workers and it is good for the competitiveness of the Philippine economy, and it’s not only for good for exports but even for the entire local industries that compete with imports. Imports now become more expensive than the local products, so there would be more local production and by that it will create jobs. Increase purchasing power of OFW dependent families will spur consumer spending and in turn to drive economic growth. To a degree the recent weakness in PHP does allow the BPO to remain competitive, the pesos weakness highlighted volatility- or sudden ups and downs in the exchange rate but according to the analyst short-term volatility should not be cause for worry as the country’s foreign reserves recorded at $82.9 billion as of end of may which is provided by the BSP to cushion upsides risk. Inflation is not in focus because the BSP has likely been smoothing the movements in the PHP and the size of reserve suggests that it will be well placed to limit excessive volatility in either direction for the PHP said the HSBC. Currency traders at local foreign bank who requested anonymity to protect their positions in the spot market said the BSP intervenes in the market when peso moves, win or lose within the day.

  • What Happens When There Is a Surplus of Imports Brought Into the Us Essay

    ...International Trade and Finance Speech What happens when there is a surplus of imports into the U S: A surplus of imports is good for consumers but bad for local business. We have to produce and manufacture in order to export. As our export trade shrinks, so does our workforce and economy. The surplus of imported cars for 2012 has exceeded the exportation by $152 billion. Also the shelf life of cars is 1 year. Every year at the end of the cycle the existing models are sold off at huge discounts to make room for the new models, which is good for the consumer. What are the effects of international trade to GDP, domestic markets and university students. International trade comprises exports and imports, the net result of which affects our GDP. Since our imports exceed our exports our GDP would be impacted by our net exports or deficits. The rippling effect of financing deficits is an increase in interest rates from selling bonds that reduces investments and growth. This further reduces GDP. Domestic markets flourish when there is a demand for local products overseas. If the domestic markets have to compete with imported products it could be a struggle. However jobs can be created for the advertising, sales, and distribution of foreign imports.

  • The Philippine Peso—Us Dollar Exchange Rate: the Impact of Strengthening Currency Research Paper

    ...currency. In the Philippines, for instance, the exchange rate is conventionally expressed as the value of one US dollar in peso equivalent. The value of any particular currency is determined by market forces based on trade, investment, tourism, and geo-political risk. Every time a tourist visits a country, for example, he or she must pay for goods and services using the currency of the host country. Therefore, a tourist must exchange the currency of his or her home country for the local currency. Currency exchange of this kind is one of the demand factors for a particular currency. Another important factor of demand occurs when a foreign company seeks to do business with a company in a specific country. Usually, the foreign company will have to pay the local company in their local currency. At other times, it may be desirable for an investor from one country to invest in another, and that investment would have to be made in the local currency as well. All of these requirements produce a need for foreign exchange and are the reasons why foreign exchange markets are so large. (investopia.com) In this paper the researchers attempt to show the impact of strengthening peso against the US dollar and what are the consequences behind it.

  • Essay about Currency analysis of US dollar and RMB

    ...relatively market-based exchange rate system that was used by importers and exporters in “swap markets”. The two exchange rates differed significantly. For example, the official exchange rate with the dollar in 1993 was 5.77 Yuan versus 8.70 Yuan in the swap markets. The foreign exchange was highly restricted in order to limit imports, resulting in a large black market for foreign exchange. From 1994 to 2005: In 1994, the Chinese government unified the two exchange rate systems at an initial rate of 8.70 Yuan to the dollar, which eventually was allowed to rise to 8.28 by 1997 and was then kept relatively constant until July 2005. From 1994 until July 2005, China maintained a policy of pegging the RMB to the U.S. dollar at an exchange rate of roughly 8.28 Yuan to the dollar and Chinese central bank maintained this peg by buying (or selling) as many dollar-denominated assets in exchange for newly printed Yuan as needed to eliminate excess demand (supply) for the Yuan. The peg appears to have been largely intended to promote a relatively stable environment for foreign trade and investment in China. From 2005 to 2008: From 2005, Chinese government started to reform the peg. The Chinese government modified its currency policy on July 21, 2005 and the exchange rate of the U.S. dollar against the RMB would be adjusted from 8.28 Yuan to 8.11, an appreciation of 2.1%. The government...

  • strong vs weak dollar Essay

    ...MWF1 Strong and Weak Dollar “A falling dollar will mean a faster U.S. recovery” written by Martin Fledstein argues in favor of the weak United States Dollar while David Malpass argues in favor of the United States Dollar being strong. Both men present valid reasons as to why they believe the United States currently should be weak or strong compared to other countries’ currencies. This ongoing debate is extremely important because it reflects the United States economy. The United States Dollar is the most actively traded currency in the world and if we had a strong dollar there would be growth in the economy. The pros of having a strong dollar outweigh the pros of a weak dollar even though some people believe that a weak dollar solidifies the foundation for stabilization. In the year 2013, the total number of bills exchanged with foreign countries was 5.02 trillion dollars. More than half of them were imported dollars that were being exchanged between the United States and foreign countries. With a strong dollar the economy would benefit immensely due to the value of our currency compared to the other countries currency. If the dollar was weak then it would create the cost of imports to increase and in turn...

The gold standard era in the U.S. officially began with the passing of the Gold Standard Act in 1900. But it was not until World War II that brought about the need for a worldwide standard for currency values and exchange rates. The Bretton Woods Agreement in 1944 established two very important international institutions: the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (now the World Bank). What came from this agreement was that all the world’s currencies would be pegged against the value of gold, and with the U.S. dollar on the gold standard, the U.S. dollar effectively became the world’s reserve currency. The value of gold was fixed at $35 per ounce until the gold standard was effectively withdrawn in 1971 as President Nixon ordered an end to the out-dated system and the price of gold was...
