The exchange rate would fluctuate between (0.80 + 0.008) = 0.8008 and (0.80 – 0.008) = 0.792
0.8008 and 0.792 are called gold export and import points.
The BOP disequilibrium was corrected by “Price-specie-flow mechanism”.
Example of gold export and import
If the gold par value in New Zealand was NZ$125/ounce and A$100/ounce in Australia, so mint par of exchange: 100/125 = A$0.80/NZ$ Costs of gold transportation: A$0.008/NZ$
The Classical Gold Standard (1876 – 1914)
The gold standard was a commitment by participating nations to fix the price of their domestic currencies in terms of a specified amount of gold.
International monetary system is based on the exchange rate system adopted by individual nations. The exchange rate system is a set of rules governing the value of a currency relative to other currencies.

Foreign Exchange Market and Foreign Exchange Rate
Foreign Exchange Market
Foreign exchange is another country’s money. The dynamic meaning of the foreign exchange refers to the act of trading different country’s currencies.
Foreign exchange market structure
Customers buy $ with ¥
Local banks
Foreign exchange brokers
Major banks Interbank markets
Local banks
Customers buy ¥ with $
The foreign exchange market is an informal, over-the-counter and around-the-clock market.
It has no centralized meeting-place and no formal requirements for participation.
A spot exchange rate is the current market price, the rate at which a foreign exchange dealer converts one currency into another currency on a particular day.
Convertibility means a currency can be freely exchanged for another currency. This is the most important characteristic of the foreign exchange.

汇率制度与汇率政策
1. 汇率制度
•
如果,英镑的汇价低于黄金输入点,则具有英镑外
汇收入的商人,就不在外汇市场出卖英镑,可以直 接将1英镑所包含的黄金运回国内。
影响汇率变动的因素
• 宏观经济形势:
• (美国对汇率有重大影响的主要经济指标:全国采购经理指 数;耐用品订单;国内生产总值;设备使用率;失业率;先 导指数)
•
宏观调控政策与利率差异
元领取港币或赎回美元。
联系汇率制度(优点)
• 自我维护机制
• 商业银行与发钞行的套利活动 – 若外汇市场港元贬值,1美元=7.9港元
– 若外汇市场港元升值,1美元=7.7港元
联系汇率制度(缺点)
•削弱了联系汇率制国家或地区执行货币政策的独立性。
•维持港元与美元汇价稳定的一个基本条件是:港元利率应尽可能与美元利率保 持一稳定水平,这就要求港元利率必须随着美元利率的变化而变化。也就是说, 中国香港地区货币政策的制定必须以美国货币政策为依据,中国香港地区独立地 运用利率政策调节经济的效果受到一定的影响。

Spot Exchange Market and Exchange Rate Quotations
The spot exchange market is a market that deals in foreign exchange for immediate delivery. Immediate delivery in foreign currencies usually means within two business days.
A spot exchange rate is the current market price, the rate at which a foreign exchange dealer converts one currency into another currency on a particular day.
Small- to medium-size banks are not market makers in the interbank market. They buy from and sell to larger banks to offset retail transactions with their own customers.
American quote is the dollar per currency quote, i.e. the price of other currencies in terms of the dollar. Example: US$ 1.57 = £1 US$ 1.35 = €1
Hale Waihona Puke European quote is the currencies per dollar quote, i.e. the price of the dollar in terms of the other currencies. Example: A$ 1.02 = US$ 1 € 0.74 = US$ 1

Most are commercial banks and investment banks - Although geographically dispersed in numerous financial centres around the world, these dealer institutions are linked to each other through telephones, computers, and other electronic means.
Introduction to Foreign Exchange Market

The estimated worldwide turnover of reporting dealers, at around $2 trillion a day (in 2004). – 7 times the level of turnover in the US Government securities market. The breadth, depth, and liquidity of the market are truly impressive.
