WHO SETS THE RATES? Common questions about CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES, 3 AUGUST
WHO SETS THE RATES? Common questions about CURRENCY EXCHANGE RATES
"Who's in charge of setting currency exchange rates? If you've ever sent money overseas or checked the rates, this is a question that may have definitely crossed your mind. Who decides what is the value of money, and why do rates fluctuate that much during the day?"
"Every country in the world has its own currency, and each of these currencies is valued differently. When you exchange one currency for another, you're actually buying money, just in a different currency than the one used in your country."
"The exchange rate tells you how much the currency used in your country is worth in foreign currency. The rates CONSTANTLY CHANGE for some countries, whereas others use FIXED exchange rates.
As a rule of thumb, a country's social and economic outlook is the main factor that influences the currency exchange rate."
"Most countries have variable currency exchange rates, which are determined by the foreign exchange market. Because these rates are flexible, they fluctuate every minute, often influenced by market movements, political events, economic forecasts, and more."
"Countries such as the U.S., the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, and Mexico all use flexible exchange rates. It's important to note that even though government policies can influence currency exchange rates, the government can't actually regulate them. The rates are always determined by Forex traders on the foreign exchange market."
"Several countries use FIXED CURRENCY RATES, and that is because the government dictates when the rates change. This is the case for the Saudi Arabian RIYAL, for example. The fixed rates are pegged to the U.S. dollar, and the central bank in the countries that use this system holds U.S. dollars to keep the rate fixed. "
"The market forces of supply and demand are the main factors that determine currency exchange rates. The level of demand for a currency determines its value in relationship with other currencies. "

US REJECTS VIETNAM'S Request to Lift ‘Non-Market Economy’ Tag, 3 August
THE QUESTION REMAINS HOW WILL THIS NEWS AFFECT THE VALUE OF THE VIETNAMESE DONG
" The Biden administration rejected Vietnam’s request to be classified officially as a “market economy,” a setback for the country’s efforts to boost exports to its most important market."
"The trade-dependent Southeast Asian economy has pressed the administration to revise the status since the upgrade in diplomatic ties during a visit by President Joe Biden to Vietnam in September last year."
"The “non-market” economy label mainly works against Vietnam when the US applies anti-dumping complaints. A change would have been a signal of closer ties at a time when the US is seeking to bolster relationships in the region as a counterweight to China. "
"Vietnam, which has signed numerous free trade agreements, is making greater access to the US market a priority. Its total trade — exports and imports — is equivalent to about twice the size of its economy."

RV UPDATE BY MIKE BARA, 3 AUGUST
A contact went to the bank (Big 4) today to buy more currency.
He was told by the manager, who acknowledges the RV, not to bother, because he would be coming back to exchange in "two days."
Same contact was also told that "this week" the market would drop "2,000 points."
That's not enough to make an impact. I think he misheard and was told the market would drop TO 2,000 POINTS. Don't forget, Andy Schectman predicted this on my interview with him two weeks ago. (link below).
He said the US markets could drop to the value of Gold, which is around $2,454 an ounce.
Also hearing the Crowdstrike hackers got access to the crash protection algorithms, and that when the plunge begins, they won't be able to halt trading. This is how it will be portrayed anyway. https://mikebara.blogspot.com/2024/07/the-new-gold-standard-with-mike-bara.html
