Foreign Exchange Market (Part 1) | International Business | From A Business Professor

I liked how this video had two different parts, as it is a very in-depth topic. I also liked learning about how we can trade currencies with other countries, and how the American dollar holds up against other countries' forms of payment.

I probably didn't know 90% of the information in this video. I feel grateful that the video went into detail about exchange rates and how the entire process works.

Good into into a big world. The Foreign Exchange Market plays a crucial role in the global economy by facilitating the exchange of currencies, impacting trade, investment, and financial stability.

Exchange rates are super fascinating to me because it's a great way to understand trade! I find it interesting how you have to exchange your currency to match the country's currency to buy and sell stuff. Overall Great video again as always!

I really enjoyed learning the 4 main uses in international trade and how the different currencies affect trade.

Exchange rates were always an interesting subject to me, and I was very excited to see that this topic had 2 videos on it. It went into great details on the exchange rates from country to country and I really enjoyed that.

I enjoyed learning about the 4 main uses of international trade, and about all the different types of currency and how the values are different.

Before I watched this video, I only saw the importance of the foreign exchange to be used when traveling internationally. I did not think about how it is important to international companies. This video explained to me the importance of understanding the foreign exchange market in order to be involved with international business and trade and how the tiniest cent in USD will completely change the dollar amount in another foreign currency.

This video really opened my eyes as to how each currency is so different but can also be pretty similar. The value of one currency compared to another can change for different reasons but some how they are all interchangeable in order to do business internationally. There has been an evolution of currency conversion that makes it very easy for tourist to be able to enjoy each country they visit without having to worry about their currency not being acceptable.

I enjoyed your video because it broke down the exchange market in simpler terms! I like how each currency was orginzaed when explaining it. I enjoyed hearing some about the china market!

I found this video interesting because I frequently travel to Mexico and my family likes to pay attention to what is going on with the peso. During COVID the dollar was worth anywhere from 20 to 25 pesos, so we were able to get items for cheaper than we usually did. The last time we went $1 was worth 17 pesos, so not as high as we got used to it being. It's interesting how it fluctuates and how the dollar is always worth the most.

I sometimes change currency and it is very amazing concept how things can change in value due to location. In Mexico there are items more expensive than the US even though the exchange rate is horrible.

The foreign Exchange market is more interesting to learn about then you'd think. Glad I watched this!!! Felipe Cotto / PJ

The foreign exchange market is so amazing to me because of how different countries financially interact with one another. I have traveled to many countries in the middle east and south America where the currency exchange never really made since how that worked up until watching this video.

This video was very helpful to me as coming into this, I knew nothing about it. Like said below, I am only familiar with the USD so this video helped me gain a better knowledge of all the conversions and how every country does it differently. As I have traveled outside the US before, I always knew that they used different currencies, but I never knew the depth they went to. Overall, this was a great video!

We can only avoid catastrophic finance change by eliminating debt consolidation investments emissions. I know the road to a zero-risk world investment seem daunting but having clear financial issues milestones along the transition paths, as we offer courses that made investors understand it all even as a newbie. We will guide, coach & manage your finances into hiding massive investments returns the way.

From this video I have gained so much knowledge such as how different countries exchange products and how they convert money into yen. It was interesting learning how they convert money into yen and so much more. Also I went ahead and understood how the math works while converting.

International trade has so many inputs on how conversion rates differ in different countries, and I still have a lot to learn. This is very interesting because I want to live overseas in Europe.

The foreign market is used from country to country to be able to have a way to use currencies from one country to the other. It is very important to have this available for the global market to work and be sustainable.

I found this video to be quite engaging. I now have a deeper appreciation for the foreign currency market and the role it plays. I was aware that there were many currencies, but I had no idea there were so many. Since I've done some international traveling, I've had the chance to convert some of my U.S. dollars to the local currency. It was fascinating to observe how much variation there was in currency value.

Why is China so powerful?

It is interesting to learn about the 4 main uses in international trade. The examples given in the chart for forward exchange rates was helpful to understand how it works.

Before I watched this video, I knew about the concept of foreign exchange rates, but didn't realize how important it was to international business. I found the part about spot exchange and forward exchange very interesting, as it highlighted how exchange rates can affect the profitability of a company. As most businesses are becoming international, this was very informative. The example of the currency swap was interesting as well. Apple seemed to create money for itself and protect its profitability by trading currency.

I thought this video was particularly interesting. This video gave me more of an understanding about the foreign exchange market. I thought it added clarity regarding effects that the forces of supply and demand exert on the foreign exchange market.

This is very informative video about how foreign currency exchange rates works when doing business in foreign countries. Also all the the strategies domestic firms use to protect themselves against foreign exchange risk like in the Apple laptop example where because gave their bank 1 million U.S Dollars in exchange for 110 million yen the were able to gain 1.09 million dollars off a 90 day forward exchange rate of $1= 120 yen.

I found this video rather informative in explaining a general idea of how different currencies interact with each other. While I was somewhat familiar in knowing that some currencies are stronger than others, I didn’t know that the foreign exchange market was also used a kind of insurance against risks! I’ll have to do more research on hedging, it sounds rather interesting.

This video is very useful and interesting. it will show you how big companies do foreign exchange and how they run the foreign market by buying their country's currency to pay in their currency for their goods and services. This video will show how one country swaps its currency or buy the currency for to pay the country's goods. For example, if you travel to a different country in Europe from the USA then you have to buy Euros or their country's currency to buy food and travel. Like if you go to China to have to swap yuan for dollar.

The foreign exchange market is something that really interests me. The reason is because it lets me understand how exchange rates work in different countries. Spending my whole career in US systems doesn't allow for me to gain the experience I need in foreign markets. By gaining some knowledge on how they trade over there, it allows for me to crossover with less chance of complications in communication.

I've always wondered how the exchange rate works from country to country. It's been a confusing topic for a while for me but this video helps better explain not only how it works but why it works. I also enjoy the useful tips for when traveling abroad and needing to match the currency for the country you are visiting.

I learned a lot from this video. I thought it was interesting to learn about how often exchange rates change and how the value of currencies can be so different in other parts of the world.

This video provides so much insight on foreign exchange. It will definitely broader your perspective.

After reading a chapter in my textbook on Foreign Exchg Mkt including implications, drivers and attempts to predict movement, I was anxious to watch this video as I knew it would give a more clear explanation of what I had just read. I've gotten accustom to watching these Business School 101 videos for a breakdown of topics, expecially the ones I may be struggling to comprehend. Each video seems to be about 12-16 avg minutes & well worth the short investment of time!

This was a very well done video. I love learning about how the value of currency changes based on where you are located. I haven't had the chance to learn about other currencies other than the US dollar so this was very refreshing.

I have dabbled in the foreign exchange market myself, but never had enough time to study the charts and graphs. It is an extremely interesting topic and there is definitely money to be made. This two part video explains the market well and I will reference it often.

As a accounting major I like looking at money and seeing exchange rate so this subject is one of my favorites of the class. I also new that the U.S. dollar was used a lot in international trade but I didn't realize that it was 85% of trade uses it one way or another.

Foreign exchange market is a great thing so that businesses can exchange goods to other countries. This video was interesting because it made me think of how sometimes it might be more smarter to move your business to a country that costs less in exchange to U.S. dollars. This happened in 2008 when a bunch of U.S. businesses moved to China because it would profit them more money that way.

This video was really interesting. I never realized how involved china was with the making of an iPhone!

Considering I am only familiar with USD, this video was very educational on both currency conversion and how that effects a companies revenues and expenses. The foreign exchange market is always changing, and this video opened my eyes to that a bit more.

I definitely learned some things I didn't know from this video. I enjoyed the currency conversion section and hearing a little bit more about how different things are in other parts of the world in regard to currency.

I really liked this video. Foreign exchange has always been an interesting subject in my opinion and how exchange rates are constantly changing with global events. I took a class last semester where we learned about swaps and the benefits or lack there of that you can get from a swap

This video was very interesting. While I haven't had to personally exchange my currency in other countries, it has affected my view of the value of certain currencies given the state that other countries may have been in.

I really used to think that FOREX was a scam or a way for people to profit off of one's ignorance, but learning about currency swapping I can see that, although risky, it does make sense to see how there is money to be made in it, especially for governments.

This video was very interesting to watch. It gave me a better understand in to foreign exchange market and the functions that it holds. I knew that there were different currencies but I didn't realize just how many there were. I have travelled out of the country so Ive gotten the opportunity to exchange money from the US currency to the appropriate currency. I found it interesting to see the difference in the value of the different currencies.

This video was very interesting! I had no idea that the value of our currency varies so greatly depending on where your at. There are 180 different currencies around the world that are recognized as legal tender in United Nations member states. I would like to see all of the variances because I imagine they are all unique and interesting!

I've never actually had the opportunity to exchange my currency in different countries. Im curious on what it will feel like having more or less of a currency bill compared to what I traded for.

Wow, I was not aware that there were so many monetary units. I am glad this video breaks down the foreign exchange market in simpler terms. I know the exchange rate always changes when converting U.S. dollars to Mexican pesos. My grandmother goes to Mexico every year and has taught me the basics of how it works. I enjoyed learning what it is like for other countries in this video.

This video broke down Foreign Exchange Market easy to understand. I didn't know that there were so many features to the Foreign Exchange Market. I also learned that US dollar is a vehicle currency. I knew the basics to currency exchange but this added to that.
