Macroeconomics

‭The‬‭vertical‬‭axis‬‭plots‬‭the‬‭Euro‬‭per‬‭dollar‬‭not‬‭the‬‭other‬‭way‬‭around‬‭because‬‭this‬‭shows‬‭us‬ ‭the‬‭foreign‬ ‭exchange‬ ‭market‬ ‭for‬ ‭the‬ ‭U.S.‬ ‭dollar‬ ‭.‬ ‭Changes‬ ‭in‬ ‭this‬ ‭rate‬ ‭allows‬ ‭us‬ ‭to‬ ‭understand‬ ‭whether‬ ‭the‬‭U.S.‬ ‭dollar has appreciated or depreciated relative to the Euro.‬ ‭Changes in the Currency Demand Curve‬ ‭Since‬ ‭the‬ ‭exchange‬ ‭rate‬ ‭of‬ ‭a‬ ‭currency‬ ‭demand‬ ‭curve‬ ‭represents‬ ‭its‬ ‭price,‬ ‭any‬ ‭changes‬ ‭in‬ ‭it,‬ ‭ceteris‬ ‭paribus‬ ‭,‬‭affect‬‭its‬‭quantity‬‭demanded‬‭and‬‭cause‬‭a‬‭movement‬‭along‬‭the‬‭currency‬‭demand‬‭curve.‬‭When‬‭a‬ ‭currency’s‬ ‭exchange‬ ‭rate‬ ‭increases,‬ ‭ceteris‬ ‭paribus‬ ‭,‬ ‭it‬ ‭becomes‬ ‭more‬ ‭expensive‬ ‭and,‬ ‭therefore,‬ ‭less‬ ‭demanded.‬ ‭Conversely,‬ ‭when‬ ‭its‬ ‭exchange‬ ‭rate‬ ‭decreases,‬ ‭ceteris‬ ‭paribus‬ ‭,‬ ‭it‬ ‭becomes‬ ‭cheaper‬ ‭and,‬ ‭therefore, more demanded.‬ ‭However,‬ ‭in‬ ‭reality,‬ ‭the‬ ‭assumption‬ ‭that‬ ‭the‬ ‭exchange‬ ‭rate‬ ‭changes‬ ‭while‬ ‭everything‬ ‭else‬ ‭remains‬ ‭constant‬‭(‬ ‭ceteris‬‭paribus‬ ‭)‬‭is‬‭rarely‬‭accurate.‬‭The‬‭dynamics‬‭of‬‭global‬‭economies‬‭are‬‭intricate,‬‭with‬‭various‬ ‭interconnected‬ ‭factors‬ ‭influencing‬ ‭currency‬ ‭markets.‬ ‭Several‬ ‭factors‬ ‭cause‬ ‭a‬ ‭shift‬ ‭of‬ ‭the‬ ‭currency‬ ‭demand curve as follows:‬
