Importance and Differences in foreign currency exchange rates?

I am trying to understand the importance of foreign currency exchange rates. Why would economists care that today the dollar converts to x amount of Chinese currency for example? Also why would economist care that today the dollar is stronger or weaker in the same day in different countries such as China, Japan or others?

I am just using those countries as examples, nothing special. I really would like to know.

Thanks in advance


Shifting exchange rates affect the costs of imported and exported goods and services, and hence, the profitability of all kinds of different businesses.

That's the short answer.

If, all the sudden, the dollar gets weaker, we have to trade more of them to get someone else's currency, and then import oil. So gas'd cost more.

If, all the sudden, the dollar gets stronger, the other people have to trade more of their currency to get the same amount of dollars. So it's harder to export, because our stuff is now more expensive to the rest of the world.

Pound Is Poised for Goldman Rally Not Helping Brown

Oct. 26 (Bloomberg) -- The U.K. pound, trading at the cheapest level against the euro in a decade, is making everything from Ipods to Toyotas less expensive for foreigners and turning Goldman Sachs Group Inc. into a sterling bull.

Purchasing power parity, a measure of the relative cost of goods, shows the currency is 22 percent below where it should be, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Sterling hasn’t been so inexpensive since 1999 after Bank of England Governor Mervyn King flooded the economy this year with 175 billion pounds ($285 billion) buying government bonds to keep borrowing costs from rising as the economy shrinks.

“The U.K. is cheap, its properties are cheap, its companies are cheap,” said Stephen Jen , a money manager at BlueGold Capital Management LLP in London and the former head of foreign exchange at Morgan Stanley. “Friends and family who have visited me always complained about the cost of living in London, but they have since stopped complaining.”
