Key Takeaways:
- Currency Fluctuation: The value of money, like the US dollar, changes over time. These changes can impact the prices of investments, especially when you compare them across different countries.
- Currency Risk: Central banks control how much money is made. If they print too much, the currency loses value (devaluation), making it riskier for people holding that money.
- Global Ripple Effect: When big currencies like the US dollar change value, it impacts global markets. It can affect interest rates, how countries trade, and even how governments adjust their financial strategies.
- Investing in Foreign Currencies: Some investors buy foreign currencies directly, but they look at two main things: how rare (scarce) the currency is and how much it’s used (network effect). These factors can make a currency more stable or valuable.
- Impact of Currency Devaluation: If a country’s currency loses value, its stock market and investment opportunities can become less attractive. This happens because people worry their returns won’t be worth as much in the future.
