Three major factors that cause a country's currency to appreciate or depreciate relative to another's * Differences in income growth among nations will cause nations with the highest income growth to demand more imported goods. The heightened demand for imports will increase demand for foreign currencies, appreciating the foreign currencies relative to the domestic currency. * Differences in inflation rates will cause the residents of the country with the highest flation ratet to demand more imported(cheaper) goods. If a country's inflation rate is higher than its trading partners', the demand for the country's currency will be low, and the currency will depreciate. * Differences in real interest rates will cause a flow of capital into these countries with the highest available real rates of the interest. Therefore, there will be an increased demand for those currencies, and they will appreciate relative to the currencies of countries whose available real rate of return is low. By

If a country raises its interest rates, its currency prices will strengthen because the higher interest rates attract more foreign investors. This answer sounds exactly logical as I think about it, yet, in economics books, under the uncovered interest rate parity model, a country with a higher interest rate should expect its currency to depreciate. I would agree with this proposition in the long run an expensive currency will hurt exports... but in the very short run... let's say once the CB declaires a rise in interest rate, by how much should one expect the currency to appreciate? is there any formula for this?

The economic situation, world over is very volatile. People are worried about the safety of their investments. Because of risk aversion on the part of people, US Dollar regained its place as a Safe Haven. People still believe that the US Dollar is much safer than any other currency in the world and hence are accumulating the US Dollar. This effectively means that, the demand for the Dollar is going up which essentially means the price of other currencies (Exchange Rate) may be affected.
