How does the strength of the U.S. dollar affect my exchange transactions?
Economic and political conditions dictate the relative strength of the dollar against other currencies. As these conditions unfold, a dollar will be worth more of another currency (strengthens) or be worth less (weakens). For example, if one U.S. dollar is equal to 115 Japanese yen and the dollar strengthened, you might then be able to get 117 or 119 for the same dollar. In the same way, a weakening could drive the exchange rate down to 111, 110 yen per dollar.
