    • When currencies plunge, it means that the value of the currency plunges or go down. How do you measure whether the value of the currency has gone down? You compare it with other currencies. You compare how much of the other currency you can "buy" or "exchange"

       

      The first chart shows that the amount of Chinese Yuan that 1 US$ can buy has fallen dramatically in the past five years and the second chart, the Japanese Yen and the third chart, the European common currency.

    • US$ plunge means, you can buy goods priced in US$ for less using your local currency.

       

      But as you can see, the price of crude oil, which is priced in US$ has gone up as well...

      It means that if you study in the US, you pay less in term of your local curreny.

       

      and ... many many other consequences....

    • .... US companies operating in Asia will find that it costs more... it will be less attractive for them to outsource overseas compared to manufacturing the goods and services in the US or US currency pegged countries.

       

      ... the goods manufactured outside of the US will cost more and it will be less attractive to buy foreign goods compared to locally US produced goods.

      good insight, true, the US of A is in recession, tho they claim that they are near recession but actually they are in recession, as the nos 1 economy in the world with the best consumers, the recession shall hit even asia and other part of the world in no time.

       

      The mortages and credits from overspending is one of the culprit whereby most are unable to pay back and simply declared bankrupt.

       

      now our sing is $1 to 1.3...US dollars only
