Description
Global Foreign Exchange Market Analysis
Conduct a comprehensive analysis of the global foreign exchange market, addressing the following points:
- Describe the structure and key participants of the foreign exchange market, including banks, dealers, and non-bank intermediaries. How has the market evolved over the past two decades?
- Explain the concept of market equilibrium in the foreign exchange market using supply and demand curves. Illustrate how changes in factors such as GDP, imports, exports, and market expectations can shift these curves and affect exchange rates.
- Compare and contrast the determinants of exchange rates in the short, medium, and long term. Consider factors such as interest rates, inflation, economic growth, and political stability.
- Analyze the role of algorithmic trading and high-frequency trading firms in modern foreign exchange markets. How have these technological advancements impacted market liquidity and price discovery?
- Evaluate the effectiveness of different exchange rate regimes (flexible, fixed, and crawling peg) in managing currency fluctuations and promoting economic stability. Use examples from specific countries to support your analysis.
- Discuss the concept of purchasing power parity and its importance in understanding long-term exchange rate movements. How does arbitrage contribute to maintaining relative currency values across markets?
