currency fluctuations
Money value swings
Currency fluctuations are changes in the exchange rate between two currencies over time.
When a currency strengthens, it buys more of another; when it weakens, it buys less.
Businesses and investors monitor currency fluctuations because they affect the cost of imports, the value of foreign investments, and profits earned abroad: Currency fluctuations wiped out our gains in the European market.
