Currency Fluctuations - An international investment's total return is
based on two factors - the investment's return in local currency plus
currency fluctuations. For example, suppose you purchase a British
stock whose price increases 10% in one year in terms of British
pounds. If, during that same year, the British pound increases in
value by 5% compared to the U.S. dollar, your total return would be
15% - 10% from the investment's return plus 5% from currency
fluctuations. However, if the British pound decreased in value by 5%,
your total return would be 5%.
Always get two or more quotes if you are about

Dollars - Pounds -
Euros - The current account deficit and budget deficits in the United States
are out of control and most economists are very skeptical of the long-term
health of the US economy. That is the major reason why dollar is falling. As
the growth opportunities emerge in Brazil, Russia, India, and China (BRIC),
investors are less interested in the United States. As a short-term solution
to what is a long-term problem, the Bush administration is letting the
dollar fall so that some American manufacturers can export American goods
overseas. However, this is making life difficult for European exporters who
are being priced out not only in Asia but United States as well. So expect
them to react soon.

Euros and Dollars - Are their problems facing the European Union Sovereignty
or Unity? This raises many conflicts with Europeans. For thousands of years
Europe has had a torn time; and again by wars which were largely fueled by
ethnic or religious differences. Today however Europeans are asked to put

US and UK Currency Markets - At the beginning of the decade, the
dollar was worth 1.0155 euros, according to the U.S. Federal Reserve
Bank. On April 30, the dollar had weakened to $1.5568 against the
euro. Most of the declines have occurred in only the past six months,
with the dollar dropping in value against the euro approximately 10
percent.
Even companies that have benefited from the weaker dollar—primarily
U.S.-based tech players—find themselves less able to pinpoint
projected earnings or losses, gross margins, revenue and cash flow
because currency exchange projections have themselves become
less reliable.
