Polish Currency Exchange Rate
The value of a dollar can be measured in terms of how much that dollar is worth if converted to another currency (a.k.a. the exchange rate). From central banks, to speculative traders, the market participants and their effect on the market is varied and complex. Nonetheless, we will take a look at the market forces that influence exchange rates and by extension, the value of a dollar.
Pegged or Free-floating Exchange Rates
A free-floating currency is one whose value is determined by the market forces of supply and demand. However, in some cases a governing authority may find it necessary to artificially influence the value of its currency by using with monetary policy measures i.e. changing interest rates, deposit requirements, and selling bonds etc.
A central bank may intervene in the currency market if exchange rates are threatening to derail the achievement of an economic goal or political objective. In most cases, any attempt to influence the price of a free-floating currency is a temporary measure that is usually withdrawn once normal market conditions return. In fact, it is difficult for any entity to influence the exchange rate of major currencies in a sustained manner because the forex market is so large (handling over $3trillion per day).
