What is the euro-dollar exchange, purchasing power parity? We all know that the dollar is becoming surprisingly weak compared to the euro. But what is the actual euro-dollar exchange, purchasing power parity? (i.e. how much should a US worker earn, in average, to have the same life style of a European worker earning 10,000€ a year?) I know that a dollar euro is traded at 1.6$. My question is different..

Which is the better exchange rate GBP to US Dollar or Euro to US Dollar at the moment? Hello, Right, I really tried solving this question by myself, but I am getting too confused!

Why has the dollar lost so much value to the Euro? In 2003 the British magazine The Economist started calculating a commodity-price index. Commodites included everything from oil to orange juice to fertilizer. They measured the index against both the Euro and the dollar. "The boom in commodity prices, which are quoted in dollars, partly reflects the currency's weakness. Since the start of 2003, our dollar index has risen by 143%, but prices have increased by a more modest 64% in terms of the euro." The data is true, but why?

Has the Euro replaced the Dollar as the strong currency? Today the Dow falls, the Euro gains, and gold falls. In the past gold did the opposite of the dollar, now it seems to follow the Euro, Euro climbs and gold dips as the dollar falls. Looks as if the dollar has already been pushed aside as the strong currency in place of the Euro.

How has the decline of the Euro affected the US dollar? I'm writing a summary of this for my GEO class and I can't seem to find much information about it online.

I am looking for a dollar to Euro exchange rate forcast for the next few years? I just saw that 1 Euro = 1.5 dollars. Does anyone have a pretty good idea how it will convert in the future. I was curious if and when oil producing countries will switch to the euro. Or are they too scared of invasion to do so. If not afraid, due to our bankruptcy and being bogged down in two wars, what's keeping them from switching to the euro for the selling of their oil????
What happens once the Euro surpasses the US dollar as the 'world currency'? The Euro has risen dramatically, and it will continue to out-pace the USD for some time. Even the Canadian dollar is worth almost as much as the USD! So what will a weak US dollar mean for the US as a whole? Links, please... Billy, the pound is limited to Britain. Europe is a continent - Britain is a country.
Has the Euro replaced the US Dollar as the preferred currency? I read an article in The Economist where the Euro has overtaken the Dollar as the standard currency for the internation bond market. I also read in the NY OpEd section that if OPEC switched to dealing with Euros rather than Dollars, and if China sold off even a fraction of the trillian US dollars in American debt, the US economy would come near collapse. I don't think it can be nearly that bad, but I'm sure if these things happened, the results would be catastrophic for American consumers. I don't know a lot about Intl Economics, so if you know anything, can I please hear your imput? Thanks in advance.
Why is the Exchange Rate for the US dollar so much higher against the Euro? The current Exchange Rate for the US dollar against the Euro is $1.28. Does the United States control this exchange rate or does the Euro set the rate based on the political climate of international politics, i.e., the negative feelings that most European countries have against the United States. Relative to this concern, how must a United States corporation whom does business with a supplier that utilize the Euro negotiate dollar for dollar when the value of the United States dollar is worth, only, $.80.
Pegging the US Dollar to the Euro? I know that some currencies fix their currency to the dollar, namely the chinese currency. Can anyone describe what would happen economically (nationwide or worldwide) if the United States randomly decided to fix the US dollar to, say, 2 euros?

How does the euro compare to the dollar right now? I'm not good with reasoning it out - today 12-02-08, is the dollar worth more euros than a year ago or less? I'm traveling tomorrow and trying to wrap my head around this... If I had 100 dollars and exchanged it, how many euros would I have and would they be worth much? Yes, thank you. I can look up the numbers myself - I should have clarified. I'd like it if someone could explain it to me in english - dumb it down for me, pls. :)
Do you think if China goes to the Euro that the American dollar is doomed? I was reading in the paper that China may go to the Euro as their currency. Which would make the American dollar just about worthless. And cause economic problems here in America. Do you agree with that? It appears that I may have read the article wrong. It was also the talk at lunch today? I will have to read it again when I get time.
Will the Australian dollar improve against the Euro? I am hoping to travel to Europe for a month or so at the end of next year, but at 0.49 Euro now, the Australian dollar is horrific at the moment. I know it's impossible to judge whether it will improve if at all, but what does the forecast look like? Can we expect it to hit 0.55+ by this time next year? That will be FAR more manageable. 0.49 atm is making me reconsider, even if it is 12 months away.

How do I use the good euro/dollar ratio to buy an iPod? I would like to buy an iPod. I noticed it costs about $250 in the US and €250 in Europe. Is there a way to buy it in dollars in Europe? It's not possible in the Apple online store... To first one who answered: read my question again. You look pretty stupid dissing me because you did not understand my question. $250 equals €176 (so it would be a €74 profit).
why do different countries have different kinds of money? Like, the dollar, the euro and the yen.? "The bank of Japan spent $20 billion to push the yen down against the U.S. dollar." I totally do not understand this statement.

What dangers does the USA face if the Euro replaces the Dollar as the international currency? There was a time that the free world once needed a strong U.S. military backed by a strong dollar to offset a Soviet threat. Since abandoning the gold standard, the only thing that has supported the value of the dollar has been the international currency market. After WWII, the U.S. dollar replaced the British pound as the international currency. Countries across the global hold trillions of U.S. dollars to back their own currency. Times are different today. There is no Soviet threat. What motivates the capitalists world to support the dollar today? International trade in Euros is on the rise. What will the USA face if the dollar loses hegemony?

What are some factors that cause the US Dollar to rise against most other currencies, especially the Euro? Does the US Dollar generally rise against other currency's when the stock market tanks? I noticed that the US Dollar rose against the Euro today at the same time the stock market indexes dropped. Does this mean that investors are keeping their money in cash or buying USD when they are pulling out of stocks? I'm quite new to all this and trying to learn. It seems that the USD can become stronger when the FED increases the interest rates but what are some other factors that could cause it to fluctuate on a daily or weekly basis? Finally, what direction do you think it's going over the next few weeks, months, and years?
