When a country’s principal export is oil or a commodity, its currency exchange rate tends to track the global price of that export. When the price rises, so does the exchange rate. The Energy Information Administration (EIA) projects that average oil prices will hover around $70 per barrel in 2020. While oil executives anticipate that it could be much longer until prices The fall in oil prices has been front-page news for the past six months. And, though many expect prices to rebound, they are still down around 50% from their 2014 peak of $115. One of the drivers of lower oil prices has been a stronger US Dollar, but this story has received less attention. The exchange rate between Canada and the U.S. has been strongly correlated to the price of oil in recent years. Over the long run, when the price of oil rises, the value of the Canadian dollar Oil prices and currency exchange rates always have a correlation. As the most traded commodity, we call Crude Oil as black gold in the market. First, there are two main categories in the world’s crude oil reserves. WTI crude oil is a product from Adding oil prices to the monetary model of exchange rates, we find that oil prices significantly explain movements in the value of the U.S. dollar (USD) against major currencies from the 1970s to 2008. Our long-run and forecasting results are remarkably consistent with an oil-exchange rate relationship.

First, there are two main categories in the world’s crude oil reserves. WTI crude oil is a product from The reason the price of oil impacts on CAD is that when it rises, the aggregate cost of Canadian oil correspondingly goes up, which thereby increases the demand for the currency. The price of oil typically has the largest effect on countries with floating exchange rates such as Canada, Norway, or Mexico. Over the last 15 years, the loonie (-0.42), krone (-0.46), and peso (-0.31) have all had large negative correlations in exchange rates (paired with USD) against the price of oil.

The terms of trade: A negative terms of trade shock (say, a fall in oil prices for an oil exporter) drives down the price of non-traded goods in the domestic economy and thereby the real exchange rate, which is defined as the relative price of a basket of traded and non-traded goods between the domestic and the foreign economy. On the other hand, oil prices that are set by monopolists affect the exchange rate of currencies and since oil is priced in dollars, each adjustment to the price by the monopolist is a de-facto The terms of trade channel mostly focuses on real oil prices and exchange rates, while the wealth and portfolio channels propose an effect from the nominal exchange rate to the nominal oil price.

This paper investigates the impact of changes in the U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate on crude oil prices. The negative correlation of these two variables is ascribed to five possible channels: on For instance, the , unemployment rate, and even current interest rates (prime rates) can all affect currency exchange rates. However, it is possible for major political events (such as elections, wars, etc.) to also affect currency exchange rates. Even commodities (gold, oil prices, wheat, etc.) may affect the exchange rates between countries. In this study, the relationship between crude oil prices and exchange rate of dollar i s analyzed by the help of Johansen cointegration m ethod for the period of 2003:M1-2014:M10 using monthly data.
