It affects the prices of imported goods, affects wage inflation, can influence tourism patterns and will influence a consumers potential purchase decisions<br>A gold standard is a monetary system where all the money in circulation, most often paper money, has a value directly linked to that countries store of gold. Currencies fixed to a gold standard also become fixed relative to each other, allowing predictable and simpler currency exchanges. This simply means that a gold standard is the use of gold as the standard value for the money of any country. With the gold standard, people could cash in their paper money for a specific amount of gold. This system was put in place in 1944, when the leaders of allied nations met at Bretton Woods, New Hampshire, to set up a stable economic structure out of the chaos of World War II. The U.S. dollar <br><br><br>was fixed at $35 per ounce of gold and all other currencies were expressed in terms of dollars. (Federal Reserve Bank of New York)<br>The gold standard has not been the international monetary system for a long time and has since been replaced with fiat currency. When the gold standard was in place, a country was unable to produce currency that represented gold th ...

Foreign exchange trades can occur in a stock market like exchange, similar to the Chicago Board of Trade. Normally, however, it is the major banks in each major nation, such as the Bank of London, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York, and the Bank of Tokyo, which help exchange one currency for another and also, through their purchases of currency reserves help set the price of all currencies.<br>This system where the prices of currencies are allowed to fluctuate is a floating exchange rate system (FRB New York). This floating system, although it may seem to make sense given how common international trade has become in the modern world, was not the standard used until the very last decades of the Twentieth Century (FRB New York). Prior to the floating exchange rate system the world used the gold standard (FRB New York). Under the gold standard nations central banks would determine the value of their currency based on how many ounces of gold each one unit of their currency could purchase (Bordo). For example, in 1834 the United States fixed the price of gold at $20.67 per ounce, where it remained until 1933, (Bordo). Other nations did the same, so that all currencies had a value that could be compared against a common denominator gold. Because gold could be held and seen and its value has been known for centuries, a currency exchange set up with gold as its base could be trusted by members of all nations who knew that if they arrived at the Bank of London with U.S. Dollars they would receive British pounds in an amount equa ...

A fixed exchange rate would have caused major problems at this time as some countries would be uncompetitive given their inflation rate. The floating rate allows a country to re-adjust more flexibly to external shocks. <br>Lower foreign exchange reserves - A country with a fixed rate usually has to hold large amounts of foreign currency in order to prepare for a time when they have to defend that fixed rate. These reserves have an opportunity cost. <br><br>Disadvantages of the foreign exchange market: <br> Uncertainty - The fact that a currency changes in value from day to day introduces instability or uncertainty into trade. Sellers may be unsure of how much money they will receive when they sell abroad or what their price actually is abroad. Of course the rate changing will affect price and thus sales. In a similar way importers never know how much it is going to cost them to import a given amount of foreign goods. This uncertainty can be reduced by hedging the foreign exchange risk on the forward market. <br> Lack of investment - The uncertainty can lead to a lack of investment internally as well as from abroad. <br> Speculation - Speculation will tend to be an inherent part of a floating system and it can be damaging and destabilizing for the economy, as the speculative flows may often differ from the underlying pattern of trade flows. <br><br>Positive/Negative Aspects of Gold Standard: <br> In an international gold-standard system, gold or a currency that is convertible into gold at a fixed price is used as a medium of internati ...
