Question

Suppose that prices in the United States rise relative to prices in France. We expect that (on the foreign exchange market) the demand for U.S. dollars will __________ and the supply of dollars will __________

Answer 1

Answer:

Decrease , Increase

Explanation:

Rising prices of goods and commodities in the United States would absolutely lead to a decrease in demand of the US dollars. This is principally due to the fact that, elsewhere, there is an alternative that costs lesser and hence, there would be a shift in sourcing, making the US dollars weakens.

Now, it is established that demand and supply are an inverse relationship. Due to the fact that demand is low, there’ would be an increase in supply of the currency in the foreign exchange market died to tube fact that there has been an increase in supply for it
