Causes of the dollar fall


h1 Martes, Abril 1st, 2008

The uncertainty situation that lives the financial world is not news and noone surprises when the mass media say that Ben Bernanke (President of the Federal Reserve of the United States), could reduce the interest rates again. Anyway, this measure that was set upduring the month of September have not given the result that economists have been waiting, the dollar continues falling and loses ground in front of the other foreign currencies.
The most accepted initiative at the beginning had as an aim promote the economy and prevent it from recession, although this measure made that investors and speculators take their funds to countries with major interest rates. The medine was worse than the illness and the logic of the supply and demand market acted in a determinant way as every day less people wanted to have dollars, and so the value of the dollar continued falling.
The American government refuse having a weaker dollar and even the Secretary of the United States Treasure, Henry Paulson, declared that”a firm dollar is what our nation needs”, anyway, reality shows another thing as the dollar continue falling everyday. Since today, American authorities have done nothing to support the dollar, as for example, raise the demand of this foreign currency through an arrangement with other governments to buy dollars. A more exhaustive analysis about the dolalr situation would say that the Bush government does not intervene the market to be able to recover from the deficit that has the commercial balance of the United States.
Many economists believe that this situaton is temporary and that the dollar will be stabilized when the deficit in the commercial balance reach an equilibrium, at the same tiem the politics regarding to the American currency will continue being the same.

The yen and the dollar: two sides of the same coin

The depreciation of the currency of a country many times make other currency become stronger.This happens with the relation between the yen and the dollar, both currencies are favored when some of them suffers a change.
After the crisis that suffered Japan during the Second World War, the Asian country stayed in a situation of extreme poverty, after some time it was able to recovery from this adverse scenario and became one of the strongest economies in the world, as a currency as the yen that supports it.
There is an old African proverb that says that when “the elephants fight, the one that suffers is the grass”. This is what happends frequently when there are changes on the exchange rates, or a currency become stronger, there are nations that are favored and others that suffered their consequences. The yen and the dollar are the two sides of the same coin, on the one hand the currency of the northern country has falled, while the yen has increased its value abruptly.
In the exchange yen and dollar, the devaluation of the American currency has favored the American companies that export product abroad and are bought by the nations that see the advantage on the devaluation of the dollar. The appreciation of the yen has been against the interests of the Asian countries as their debts and imports are in the most cases from Japan. This situation provoked the claims of many Asian countries that asked the Japanese government to have less debt payment conditions in yen nominal value to compensate partly the difficulties that they should face since the increase of the yen value, and Japan refused it.
The decision of strengthen a currency and devalue the other has its origins in the economic politic that wants to follows the government of the moment. The yen and the dollar are in an extreme competence system, and so the depreciation of a currency is considered an instrument that is useful to reduce the costs of the exports of a country and be efficient to penetrate at the foreign markets.
