Understanding Currency Conversion

Exchange rates represent the value of one currency in terms of another. These rates fluctuate constantly based on economic factors, market sentiment, and global events.

How Currency Conversion Works

Converted Amount = Original Amount × Exchange Rate

Example:
100 USD × 0.92 EUR/USD = 92 EUR
100 EUR ÷ 0.92 EUR/USD = 108.70 USD

Factors Affecting Exchange Rates

• Interest rates: Higher rates attract foreign investment
• Inflation: Lower inflation strengthens currency
• Economic indicators: GDP, employment, trade balances
• Political stability: Uncertainty weakens currencies
• Market speculation: Trader expectations affect rates
